HIP Investor Roundtable: Sustainable Apparel + Eco-Fashion

Sustainable or 'green' apparel represents $3 billion of annual sales, a still small portion of the overall $450 billion global apparel market. Due to a convergence of global trends and consumer attitudes, however, the sector is poised for substantial growth through 2008 and beyond.

In addition to emerging designers and small-scale producers, major players are jumping on the green apparel bandwagon. From mass market retailers like Wal-Mart, the world's largest purchaser of organic cotton fiber, and JCPenney, to specialty leaders from GAP/Banana Republic to Patagonia, the race for market share is accelerating.

Who are the designers, manufacturers, and corporations leading the way in sustainable apparel? What practices and technologies are they bringing to bear? How are they innovating for Human Impact + Profit (HIP)? Our speakers will weigh in:

  • Scott Leonard, CEO of Indigenous Designs (www.indigenousdesigns.com), based in Santa Rosa, Calif., sells fair trade and organic apparel and accessories. From raw material farming to artisan work around the world, come hear Scott describe what a HIP company in this industry looks like.
  • Plus, pop-up speakers, including Joslin Van Arsdale of San Francisco's Eco Citizen boutique (www.ecocitizenonline.com), Avni Jamdar of Suutra (www.suutra.com), and Jeff Denby of PACT Apparel providing an overview of sustainable apparel on the market today - and what's coming soon.

Join HIP Investor's rapidly growing Investor Roundtable Series as we explore some of the most HIP public and private companies in the apparel industry. Through speakers and discussion, the Roundtable will address how companies simultaneously solve customer needs, benefit the environment, and make money for investors.
