What is FACT?

The Fashion Community Talk is a video series in which we want to gather daily updated opinions from experts from the textile value chain and share them with the fashion community. According to the DTB motto “from practitioners for practitioners”.

Why was FACT brought into being?

- The Corona Pandemic has created the biggest crisis in textile value chains we have ever experienced,

- with Dramatic effects on all market participants from suppliers to retailers.

- Very dynamic developments with an open end. Change will remain the only constant.

- This creates great uncertainty and an enormous need for information.

- Personal contact with colleagues and business partners is also severely limited due to social distancing.

The goals

- Sharing knowledge

- Exchange views

- Discuss problems

- Jointly showing solutions

- Creating confidence in the textile future
