AFA COMMUNITY ONLINE-TALK:
Digital Fashion x Sustainability
With Olga Chernysheva
Chief Sustainability Officer at DRESSX
Tuesday, February 22., 2022
5 pm
(free of charge, in English)

Is digital fashion automatically sustainable fashion? Can non-real items of clothing be the alternative to fast fashion? What does a sustainability manager do at one of the largest providers of pixel fashion? And who actually spends money on clothes they can't wear?
We will discuss these and numerous other questions relating to sustainability and digital fashion in the Metaverse at the AFA Community Online Talk on February 22nd with Olga Chernysheva.
She is Chief Sustainability Officer at digital fashion provider DRESSX, the largest fashion store for exclusively digital collections from well-known brands and 3D designers.
