CreativeWear Plus

An exciting challenge!

Developing a textile – clothing sector that is as sustainable as it is creative is an exciting adventure. Designers presented their research and achievements during an online round table offered by the French hub PRISME and the Greek hub CréThiDev. These testimonies were followed by discussions on the questions to be resolved, in particular on the need to slow down the pace of production, to use all opportunities to rework existing materials or clothing to keep the emotion and style of the garment, to re-educate fine motor skills to appreciate the gesture of sewing and to re-enchant the imagination of circular creation.

Among the projects presented the artist's Athenian project Melissanthi Spei is open to crowdfunding until June 18. He offers many compensations in thanks.

####CommunityBuilding

HEREWEAR

Create strong and lasting connections

This is the challenge of the Herewear community, which currently brings together around a hundred members. Beyond privileged access to online information, members of the Herewear community get to know each other by discussing their concerns and by collectively testing, in real conditions, solutions to develop a bio-sourced textile – clothing sector , local and circular, as was recently the case in Campania, around the Luigi Van Vitelli University.

European strategy for a sustainable and circular textile industry

On March 30, 2022, the European Commission adopted this strategy, and chose examples to illustrate it, including the Herewear project. In parallel with this law, a proposed Regulation revises the ecodesign directive: the“sustainable products initiative” or SPI (Sustainable Product Initiative). Open for contribution until the beginning of June, this initiative “for more durable, reusable, repairable, recyclable and energy-efficient products that will benefit consumers, the environment and the climate” will also look at the presence of harmful chemicals in products such as textiles and electronic equipment, furniture, steels-cements-chemicals.
