Design Green: A Call to Action
Green Fashions, Panel Discussion and Sustainable Condo Tour

Wednesday, May 28th, 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Eco Pods, Exhibition Place

From fashion to furniture, to the spaces in which we live and work, designers play a critical role in creating and satisfying the demand for green products and environments.

This unique, multi-disciplinary event will celebrate the Toronto pioneers who are putting themselves on the competitive edge by leading initiatives to promote sustainable design in products, fashion and the built environment. The lineup of activities includes examples of sustainable fashion design; a panel discussion on the opportunities and challenges involved in “designing green”; a tour of the Sustainable Condo Exhibition, and a networking reception.

Gill Deacon will act as the panel moderator, and will facilitate a question and answer period following the initial presentations. On the panel is: industrial designer Jonathan Loudon, graphic designer Bernard Hellen, architect Janna Levitt, apparel and textile consultant Ellen Karp, and interior designer Sandra Lester.

The event is sponsored by Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation (CMHC), Exhibition Place, the Design Industry Advisory Committee (DIAC), Toronto Fashion Incubator , Fashion Takes Action and Toronto Economic Development.
