&ldquo;In our project we expand the boundaries of sustainability, small local brands work within the ideology of sustainable development as they spend minimal resources on production. The idea of the project is to take designers outside of Instagram for widespread attention of clients, buyers, celebrity stylists, and the press. Thanks to the planned program, viewers will gain wide knowledge of sustainability and will be engaged through AR,&rdquo;&nbsp;‒ Alexander Shumsky, President of Russian Fashion Council and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Thank you for helping Japanese designers to step forward in the sustainability field. Our fashion week lacks the sustainability part, but I know that Japanese designers and companies have been caring about the Earth for a long time already. We are thinking to launch something that we can do to help the Earth,&rdquo;&nbsp;‒ Kaoru Imajo, Director of Japan Fashion Week Organization.

&nbsp;

&quot;We are thrilled to partner with Global Talents Digital to support emerging sustainable brands via this global digital event. The negative affects of COVID-19 are being felt from the top to the bottom of the fashion industry financially, and, critically, environmentally - with a spike in clothing and textile waste. Young design talents across the world are demonstrating ways to transform waste and create mindful collections that speak to a new generation of design-driven conscious consumers and this event gives them the platform to grow,&quot;&nbsp;‒ Hannah Lane, Director of Partnerships, Redress.

&quot;At Style House Files, Lagos Fashion Week, we are inspired by traditional craftsmanship, it&rsquo;s slow fashion appeal, circular design and the need to adopt a more responsible approach to producing fashion on the continent. We are committed to providing and supporting platforms like Global Talents Digital to reinforce the importance of maintaining a careful balance between the people, processes and products involved in the creative process,&quot;&nbsp;‒ Omoyemi Akerele, Founder and Executive Director of Lagos Fashion Week and Style House Files.

&nbsp;

&quot;The fashion industry has always had an image of secrecy and exclusivity &ndash; with access to the privileged only. Global Talents Digital has opened a very exciting, contemporary and more inclusive collaboration opportunity, putting the power back into the hands of the designers and giving them the ability to build their brands and expand their target audiences globally,&quot;&nbsp;‒ Lucilla Booyzen, Director of SA Fashion Week.

&nbsp;

&quot;Global Fashion Exchange is excited to bring Blockchain Swapping to Russia for the very first time with the SwapChain. By working in partnership with the many incredible designers, innovators, and influencers we can create a community with Global Talents Digital around swapping that makes a massive collective impact on the environment and help educate people about how to reduce their footprint in a stylish and exciting way,&quot;&nbsp;‒ Patrick Duffy, Founder of Global Fashion Exchange and the SwapChain.
