Actions

Youth Assembly at the Midsummer Camp 2025 – June 2025
In this workshop, the Forever Young Committee invites its community of young professionals and students to reflect on their hopes, ambitions, and aspirations for the fashion industry of tomorrow. Various groups worked on distinct themes, using collective intelligence and the diverse expertise of the community members to develop innovative and ambitious proposals on topics such as social issues, business models, or sustainable materials.

Convergences Field Trips – May 2025
In May, the CFEY organised its first on-site visit to 91.530 Le Marais to discover their work and the many possibilities of hemp. The goal of this series is to connect the community of young professionals with the people who are (literally) shaping fashion. Following the success of this pilot visit, new field trips will be organised with other players across the value chain, both upstream and downstream.

Sustainable Fashion Horizon Conference Series – January 2025
Following the project initiated by PGF x IFM as part of the IFM x Kering Sustainability Chair’s call for projects, CFEY launched a new conference series on sustainable business models. The first guest was Vanessa Barboni Hallik, founder and CEO of Another Tomorrow. In April, the second conference welcomed Hasna Kourda, co-founder & CEO of Save Your Wardrobe. More conferences are scheduled to begin in September.

A new session scheduled for September will bring together sustainable production experts and manufacturing managers from PGF member organisations.
