Standard Talks is back! The Standard is continuing their panel series with an Earth Day edition in partnership with Biofabricate.
The next generation of sustainability in fashion + beauty is here, and raw + natural substances (think: corn, mushrooms, shrimp) are transforming beyond their origins as a food source. Designers are swapping harmful materials like plastic + leather to create clothing + beauty products using these innovative ingredients. Biofabricate, a leader in the space, will be delving into ways that creators embrace unique materials to lead a more sustainable future.
