Fashion Culture: Yakampot: Fashion and Social Responsibility

Concepción Orvañanos, founder and creative director of the Mexican brand Yakampot, will be in conversation with Tanya Meléndez-Escalante, senior curator of education and public programs at The Museum at FIT. They will discuss how fashion can be a vehicle for social change, whether through fair trade practices that promote the development of artisan groups or through ecological practices such as upcycling. This event is supported by INNSiDE by Meliá New York NoMad Hotel.

Fashion Culture programs are organized by The Museum at FIT to provide new perspectives on the culture of fashion. All programs are free unless otherwise indicated. However, reservations are strongly encouraged, as space is limited. See a full calendar of fall 2024 Fashion Culture Program events on the museum website.
