How can citizen engagement in the textile and fashion industry drive real change in consumer behaviour?
This question was at the heart of our recent webinar, where we explored how participatory initiatives can promote more sustainable habits and reduce the green gap, drawing on key findings from the T-REX project.
The discussion brought together experts and practitioners committed to transforming the fashion industry through citizen-led action.
We were honoured to host:
- Lavanya Jayakar, International Coordinator for Textiles UnTangled and Board Member of Green Donut
- Pauline Vierne, Sewing Teacher, Workshop Facilitator, and Pr, La Textilerie
- Livingstone Mekamou, CEO of DressLike
- Edith de Lamballerie, Assistant Professor (PhD), ESSCA
- Elina Lewe, Doctoral Researcher at Aalto University
The conversation was moderated by Sihem Dekhili from the MECE Institute and Ellie Dahan-Lamort from the Fédération de la Mode Circulaire, ensuring an engaging and thought-provoking exchange.

This webinar is part of our "Réfléchir Ralentir Réunir" series, resulting from a partnership between the Institut MECE (Mode Éthique et Consommation Écologique) and the Fédération de la Mode Circulaire (FMC). This initiative brings together businesses and academics to discuss the present and future of fashion, and the industry's transition to more sustainable models.
