콘진원 'Neulingeoge Cheoncheon'... Promoting Sustainable Fashion

The Korea Creative Content Agency announced on the 7th that it will hold 'Slow Fabric' from the 14th to the 18th on the first floor of Shinsegae Central City in Banpo, Seoul.

This is a Sustainable Fashion pop-up exhibition. Sustainable fashion refers to efforts to minimize environmental and ethical issues arising from product creation to disposal through eco-friendly approaches. The agency is promoting related support projects this year to encourage ESG management.

'Slow Fabric' emphasizes values such as eco-friendly design and material use, regulation of harmful substances and waste management, animal welfare, and fair trade. Ten brands pursuing sustainable fashion are participating, including Vegan Tiger, Kaneitei, Ulkin, Open Plan, LAR, Leju, Munn, Parts Parts, Lovecham, and Pause Break.

Vegan Tiger is the first domestic fashion brand using plant-based materials. Kaneitei recycles U.S. military tents to create fashion accessories. A representative from the agency explained, "Each brand prioritizes sustainable fashion as their core management value, focusing on upcycling, plant-based materials, and waste elimination."

Visitors can observe the process of making shoes, bags, and clothes from discarded PET bottles and used military tents. They can also see how products are distributed throughout their lifecycle, including production, inventory management, delivery, and disposal.

Cho Hyun-rae, the head of the agency, said, "Sustainable fashion requires efforts not only from companies but also from consumers and public institutions," adding, "We hope this exhibition will raise interest in related brands and ESG values."
