IPF STEERING COMMITTEE


The British Fashion Council thanks the steering committee for their time and expertise in the ongoing development of the Institute of Positive Fashion (IPF).

The role of the steering committee is to share and identify both individual and institutional expertise to inform strategy and participate in collective action.  The IPF aims to avoid duplication, highlighting resources that are already available, focusing on disseminating information, identifying gaps of information required and bringing together stakeholders to assess and address collective challenges and collaborate on action where required.
The steering committee have a common goal in that the industry must change, challenges must be addressed and that change will only happen when the industry unites to take action.
