The Design for Sustainability Educators Network took the debate about sustainability in fashion to the House of Lords.

The debate was broadcast on the BBC Parliament channel, and full transcripts are available on parliament Hansard text online. This event was open to the public and formed part of the APPG (All Party Parliamentary Group) on Sustainability & Ethics in Fashion, secretariat managed by Centre for Sustainable Fashion
