Alumni Insights: Sustainable fashion is in fashion

Event

Date: Thursday 18 September 2025

Time: 18.00 – 19.00

Location: Accelerator, Frescativägen 26A, Stockholm University

Over the past few decades, sustainable fashion has moved from a marginal concern to a prominent topic in societal debate. As these discussions have grown, so has the diversity of interpretations about what sustainability in fashion actually means.

From organic cotton to circular business models, both the products and practices of sustainable fashion are still sites of ongoing negotiation. But can anything truly be considered sustainable fashion—or is it simply fashionable to sell sustainability?

Listen to Malin Viola Wennberg, Ph.D. Student at Stockholm Business School, talk about how sustainable fashion is in fashion.
