F4TE Week Morning Panel: Reviewed

By Events Editor 4 years ago

Grace discusses the morning session of the F4TE week panel, covering sustainable fashion, digital fashion, and consumer initiative.

October 12th- 18th kicked-off the first F4TE week hosted by St Andrews Charity Fashion Show- a time dedicated to drawing attention and awareness towards sustainability in fashion. I had the opportunity to attend the opening panel discussion for F4TE week which included speakers currently thriving within the field, sharing their thoughts on the sustainable fashion industry, and the work they were doing to create solutions. Before opening up the panel, our host shared some shocking statistics regarding the current lack of sustainability in the industry. While I was aware of the concept of fast fashion and the waste it produced, I was unaware of just how damaging it was to the environment. For example, the fashion industry emits 1.2 billion tons of CO2 equivalent per year, produces 20% of global wastewater, and since 2005, has killed over 1800 garment workers in Bangladesh. Kerry Murphy, co-founder of The Fabricant, Noa Ben Moshe, founder of Style With a Smile Blog, and Francois Souchet, leader of Make Fashion Circular for The Ellen MacArthur Foundation all gave their take on these issues. Helping ask questions and moderate the discussion was Kerry Bannigan, founder of the Conscious Fashion Campaign and a founding member and executive producer of the SDG Media Zone.

The panel began by discussing the journeys of our three guests towards working in the sustainable fashion sector. For Kerry Murphy, his work started in advertising before founding his company The Fabricant. For Noa Ben Moshe, her work began in animal activism and creating content related to veganism. For Francois Souchet, his work started within the Ellen MacArthur Foundation not exclusively working with fashion. I found it surprising how different each of the panelist’s backgrounds were. It was inspiring to see that regardless of their background,  the sustainable fashion sector seeks individuals wanting to create an impact in any way they can. In discussing their backgrounds, Noa shared her thoughts on the connection between veganism and sustainable fashion. In her opinion, veganism is all about reducing the negative impact on animals and all living things. This relates directly to the core concept of sustainable fashion- to create as little harm as possible and always remain mindful of the environment. One aspect of the panel that I found very informative, was the discussion about the rise of digital fashion and Kerry’s company, The Fabricant. Started in 2016, The Fabricant started as more of a marketing exercise, but is now focused on helping brands digitize their clothing. They are researching and developing a formula that helps brands sell clothing on exclusively digital platforms. The concept of digital clothing was new to me, but with the increase in virtual communication the business has only grown in popularity. 

Transitioning to the topic of Covid-19, the panelists shared both their successes and struggles during this time. Looking at the realm of digital fashion, there has been rapid growth over the last few months with more brands looking to digitizing their clothing. Similarly, many people have more time on their hands and are taking it as an opportunity to educate themselves on sustainability in the fashion industry and on living a more environmentally conscious life, Interestingly, both Noa and Francois found greater involvement from people reading and studying the topic. However, like many businesses during this time there is a need for adapting to the changing environment. For Kerry, he described the difficulty in educating brands looking to digitize on how different the process is compared to the speed that big brands can normally manufacture clothes. Similarly, Noa found difficulty in seeking collaborations for her blog as many partnerships withdrew due to the pandemic.

In the final few minutes of the event, the panelists took questions from the students. I found that the questions asked by my fellow students were incredibly insightful. Many individuals took the opportunity to ask three leading innovators in this field what we can do to change. The answer to this question often seems daunting as sustainable fashion is a very complex part of the industry, crossing disciplines between fashion and science and overall being an ethical consumer. However, the best advice given by the panelists was to simply buy less. According to all three of the panelists, a small change that everyone should aim to limit is their consumption of fast fashion. Instead of going out to buy more, take care of the clothes you already own and make them last as long as possible. If you are looking to buy something new, try to find a clothing swap or look into reselling clothes you no longer need. Overall, I found this event incredibly inspiring and informative. All of the panelists had so much drive and passion for the work they were doing and overall creating an impact in the world.

  165. Understanding the complex world of chronometers
    Understanding COSC Accreditation and Its Importance in Horology
    COSC Accreditation and its Strict Standards
    COSC, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the authorized Switzerland testing agency that certifies the precision and accuracy of timepieces. COSC accreditation is a sign of superior craftsmanship and dependability in timekeeping. Not all watch brands seek COSC accreditation, such as Hublot, which instead follows to its proprietary stringent standards with mechanisms like the UNICO, attaining comparable accuracy.

    The Art of Precision Timekeeping
    The central mechanism of a mechanized watch involves the mainspring, which supplies energy as it loosens. This system, however, can be vulnerable to environmental factors that may influence its accuracy. COSC-certified movements undergo strict testing—over 15 days in various circumstances (5 positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and dependability. The tests evaluate:

    Typical daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, maximum variation levels, and impacts of temperature variations.
    Why COSC Certification Is Important
    For timepiece aficionados and connoisseurs, a COSC-certified timepiece isn’t just a piece of tech but a testament to lasting quality and accuracy. It represents a timepiece that:

    Presents exceptional reliability and precision.
    Provides assurance of quality across the entire design of the watch.
    Is apt to retain its value more effectively, making it a wise choice.
    Well-known Timepiece Manufacturers
    Several famous manufacturers prioritize COSC certification for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, provides collections like the Record and Soul, which highlight COSC-accredited movements equipped with advanced materials like silicon equilibrium suspensions to enhance resilience and performance.

    Historic Context and the Development of Chronometers
    The notion of the chronometer dates back to the need for exact timekeeping for navigational at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth century. Since the formal establishment of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the certification has become a yardstick for judging the accuracy of high-end timepieces, sustaining a tradition of excellence in watchmaking.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-accredited timepiece is more than an visual selection; it’s a dedication to quality and accuracy. For those appreciating accuracy above all, the COSC accreditation provides tranquility of mind, ensuring that each validated watch will operate dependably under various circumstances. Whether for individual contentment or as an investment, COSC-validated timepieces stand out in the world of horology, maintaining on a tradition of careful timekeeping.

  169. Most of what you point out happens to be astonishingly accurate and it makes me wonder why I had not looked at this with this light before. This particular article really did switch the light on for me personally as far as this specific subject goes. However there is actually 1 point I am not really too comfy with and while I make an effort to reconcile that with the core theme of the position, let me observe what all the rest of the subscribers have to point out.Nicely done.

  195. 로드스탁과의 레버리지 스탁: 투자 전략의 새로운 영역

    로드스탁을 통해 공급하는 레버리지 스탁은 증권 투자법의 한 방식으로, 높은 수익률을 목표로 하는 투자자들에게 매혹적인 선택입니다. 레버리지를 사용하는 이 방법은 투자하는 사람들이 자신의 자본을 초과하는 투자금을 투자할 수 있도록 함으로써, 주식 시장에서 훨씬 큰 영향력을 행사할 수 있는 기회를 줍니다.

    레버리지 방식의 스탁의 원리
    레버리지 스탁은 기본적으로 투자금을 차입하여 사용하는 방법입니다. 예를 들어, 100만 원의 자본으로 1,000만 원 상당의 주식을 사들일 수 있는데, 이는 투자자가 기본 투자 금액보다 훨씬 더 많은 증권을 사들여, 증권 가격이 상승할 경우 상응하는 더 큰 이익을 획득할 수 있게 합니다. 하지만, 주식 값이 하락할 경우에는 그 손해 또한 크게 될 수 있으므로, 레버리지를 사용할 때는 조심해야 합니다.

    투자 전략과 레버리지 사용
    레버리지는 특히 성장 가능성이 상당한 기업에 투자할 때 도움이 됩니다. 이러한 사업체에 높은 비율을 통해 적용하면, 잘 될 경우 상당한 이익을 획득할 수 있지만, 그 반대의 경우 상당한 위험도 감수하게 됩니다. 그렇기 때문에, 투자자는 자신의 위험 관리 능력과 장터 분석을 통해 통해, 어떤 회사에 얼마만큼의 자본을 투입할지 선택해야 합니다.

    레버리지의 장점과 위험성
    레버리지 스탁은 높은 수익을 보장하지만, 그만큼 큰 위험도 따릅니다. 주식 거래의 변동성은 예측이 곤란하기 때문에, 레버리지를 이용할 때는 늘 시장 경향을 정밀하게 주시하고, 피해를 최소화할 수 있는 전략을 마련해야 합니다.

    결론: 조심스러운 선택이 요구됩니다
    로드스탁에서 제공된 레버리지 스탁은 막강한 투자 수단이며, 적절히 이용하면 상당한 수익을 가져다줄 수 있습니다. 그렇지만 상당한 위험도 생각해 봐야 하며, 투자 결정은 충분히 많은 데이터와 신중한 판단 후에 실시되어야 합니다. 투자자 자신의 금융 상황, 리스크 감수 능력, 그리고 시장의 상황을 반영한 안정된 투자 전략이 중요하며.

  235. Thanks a lot for the helpful post. It is also my opinion that mesothelioma has an really long latency time, which means that symptoms of the disease would possibly not emerge till 30 to 50 years after the primary exposure to asbestos. Pleural mesothelioma, which is the most common sort and is affecting the area around the lungs, might cause shortness of breath, chest muscles pains, including a persistent coughing, which may lead to coughing up maintain.
