Repurpose and Reuse – Leather Naturally

Throughout this month, we have been driving our mission led messaging, encouraging consumers, designers and students to repair, re-purpose and re-use – particularly with the backdrop of global Fashion Weeks in full flow.


Now in our final week, we catch up with one of the UK’s leaders in fashion education, Lindsey Riley, Associate Dean, School of Design and Technology at London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London.


In this conversation, we explore the use of sustainable materials in student designs and why we need to optimise undergraduate understanding for the quality and longevity of leather.


Lindsey has an impressive track record in fashion education spanning over 10 years at London College of Fashion, leading a BA (Hons) course in Fashion Bags and Accessories at the start of her career.

We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.

 

We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
