Join us at our upcoming Circular Fashion x Futures Triangle Workshop 16 September 2026, Wednesday!
[Seeds of Change] Circular Fashion x Futures Triangle
How does circular fashion actually play out in practice? In this interactive workshop, participants will use the Futures Triangle framework to map plausible futures of Circular Fashion by analysing the tensions from the past, present and future. Through real-world case studies connected to Singapore, we will examine historical barriers, current driving forces and future expectations which shape the fashion space.

Why This Matters
Every second, the equivalent of a rubbish truck of textiles is landfilled or burned somewhere in the world.
Over the past two decades, clothing has become cheaper, trends have accelerated, and garments are worn fewer times before being discarded. While many of us are becoming more conscious consumers, the fashion system remains largely linear: we take resources, make products, use them briefly, and throw them away.
The idea of a circular economy offers a different vision—one where products and materials are kept in use for as long as possible through repair, reuse, resale, remanufacturing and recycling. But despite growing awareness and countless sustainability initiatives, circular fashion remains far from the norm.
What will it take to make circular fashion the norm rather than the exception?
