Talent talk

Talent Talk is a series of panel talks in collaboration with Röhsska Museum
Design & Craft.

The purpose of these talks is for us to come together as a community and gather experts to share insights and perspectives on a particular topic within textiles and fashion. By starting a transparent conversation and spotlighting the potential as well as the challenges we face in our industry today, we believe we can raise awareness, inspire and find collaboration to accelerate circular solutions.

issue #2 – Belonging, who gets a place in the public space?

March 27, 2025

Our speakers shared personal experiences, insights and visions of what inclusion in fashion can look like.

Perspectives ranged from who gets seen and heard in public spaces, to how fashion can be a tool for belonging – and why representation matters not just on the runway, but in everyday life.

Big thank you to our brilliant speakers, @charlottecmanning, @abbe_mandegar and @viktoryaabraham, for being so generous with both knowledge and personal stories!

Issue #1 – What does it take to sustain a circular business in fashion?

November 28, 2024

Our speakers shared everyday challenges, long-term potential and individual needs.
Perspectives that were shared evolved around consumer behavior, what scaling looks like for a circular business, why local production is important, the cultural aspect when it comes to valuing our clothes and why repairing needs to become the norm.

Big thank you to our brilliant speakers, Bella Simmons, Waxiu Shehu and Linnéa Magnusdotter, for being so generous with both knowledge and personal stories!
