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.
