With representatives from over 50 nations, this year’s summit not only celebrated the vibrant tapestry of global fashion but also underscored an emerging, critical narrative in the industry: sustainability. As the world grapples with climate change and environmental degradation, the fashion sector is increasingly moving towards green solutions, and the BRICS+ nations are leading the charge.
The summit introduced the BRICS International Fashion Federation (BIFF), an alliance aimed at fostering sustainability and improving efficiency within the industry. This move is a response to the urgent need for an environmentally conscious approach to fashion, which has historically been one of the most polluting industries worldwide.
