Formula 1, Tommy Hilfiger and Other Leading Brands Gather Online to Discuss the Future of Fashion at the 5th “Fashinnovation Worldwide Talks”

The fifth edition of the event that takes place during NYFW will offer the global community a 15-hour agenda with interesting discussions and an exclusive launch 

Fashinnovation, a global platform that promotes innovation and entrepreneurship in fashion through in-person and online events since 2018, announces the opening of registration for its 5th Worldwide Talks that will take place on September 9, from 8 am to 11 pm EST. 

The event will be 100% free to attend, however, its participants will be able to make a donation to JCRÉ Facilitador, a social project in the Jacarézinho favela from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that has been using Fashion, Beauty, and Entrepreneurship as tools to transform lives for 19 years. The institute made it possible to connect Fashinnovation with agents from the favelas to build the company’s new brand. 

Worldwide Talks made its debut in 2018 at New York Fashion Week, and since then have hosted over 450 of fashion’s leading innovators to audiences representing 2 million viewers across 120 countries, in order to raise discussions about the topics of sustainable development goals, entrepreneurship, diversity and inclusion, social impact and new technologies all seen through the lens of innovation. 

The 5th edition of Fashinnovation Worldwide Talks for 2021 will be 15 hours long. The event is already known for being a true marathon of knowledge, and this strategy is adopted so that its global audiences, such as China, India, and Saudi Arabia, can also follow some panels live.

The event will also feature a startup pitch competition, where fashion companies on the rise will have the opportunity to present their business model to renowned names in the industry. 

In addition to the vast agenda, Fashinnovation will open to the public its community platform. The event’s audience will be the first to have access to the register link.. The online community platform will offer exclusive and in-depth curated content on entrepreneurship, innovation, sustainability, diversity, and technology in the fashion industry, with networking and discussion groups with renowned professionals in the market and courses, workshops, and brand discounts for subscribers.

I truly believe fashion should be from everyone to everyone, and because of that we are no longer just an event but a global platform,” says Marcelo and Jordana Guimarães, Founders of Fashinnovation. They also affirm that the community will be a digital-only environment designed especially for Fashion Professionals seeking to be a part of positive change in the industry and to connect with entrepreneurs and industry leaders committed to doing the same.
