Shemakes Voices spotlights women innovators in sustainable fashion
Shemakes Voices is a monthly online meeting from September 22, 2021 to hear the voices and personal stories of women who have left their mark on the textile and clothing industry.
During this first conversation in September, the professor Becky Earley from the Center for Circular Design (UAL, London) spoke passionately about creative minds and design methodologies, and how she applies them to the printing process, team management and long-term circular systems .
The next shemakes voices will be those of Marte Henschel (October) the entrepreneur whose B2B textile matchmaking platform has more than 25,000 users andAurélie Mossé (November), a research designer whose home textiles are at the intersection of technology and poetry.
Find these conversations broadcast live on the channels Facebook And Youtube of shemakes.

Is the biosourced sector complex? Check out our online community glossary!
In a sector as emerging as bio-sourced textiles, it is necessary to clarify the vocabulary we use. This is even more true in a European project where experts from varied cultures occupy different positions in the textile value chain. We have built a wiki-like format where keywords can be defined and improved by users and stakeholders. As the number of concepts to be clarified expands, so will the glossary.

####InnovationSociale
Radical innovation needs human and social relationships to take off
We all have ideas about the most successful innovation models to apply to the future of the textile and clothing sector. One pole could be that research and development comes first, the opposite could be that use comes first. However, as Jesse Marsh explained in a conference for Herewear partners, we should actually see these models in their societal context. It demonstrates that we have entered the era of an innovation model based on human and social relations. Further discussion on this issue will follow with the Herewear community page.

Start of inspiring training for future staff of Tunisian textile and clothing technical centers
The training provided included courses prepared by CEDECS-TCBL focused on sustainable fabrics and business models in the sector. During this Covid period, the sessions were hybrid, with face-to-face participation as well as online. Key ideas and feedback will make it possible to offer a second series of training, because we believe that today's training must be co-constructed with the trainees, both to meet their professional expectations and to capitalize on their collective experience on the ground.

####EventFashion
Is fashion too disciplined or not enough?
Fashion as indiscipline: territories of expression and research was the name of the first four-day seminar scheduled in the prestigious Cerisy-la-Salle 2021 Conferences. As it is in TCBL's DNA to be indiscipline, Jesse Marsh presented the above article via videoconference and Frédérique Thureau engaged in fruitful conversations with an audience of future thinkers. A big thank you to Matthew Buard And Celine Mallet (from the Duperré school) and Aurélie Mossé (from EnsadLab) for initiating this subject, on which others will be published in the coming months.
####ShortCuts
Christo packs the Arc de Triomphe in Paris
from September 18 to October 3, with 25,000 square meters of polypropylene and 3,000 meters of red rope. This packaging is very controversial from an artistic point of view as well as from an ecological point of view. On the eye side, is the packaging a work or not, having been thus repeated throughout the career of the artist couple? On the ecological side, this material which will be recycled into plastic balls for football fields, requires us to define more precisely the notion of recycling and circularity in the economy of the textile sector.
