It looks so interesting! Tough I don't work in fashion the topic of fast fashion is really fascinating to me. I'd love to visit zara and Santiago is really pretty. Any chance the conference proceedings or presentation could be shared?
Hi Jeffery. I have an off topic question about what kind of canvas would you use for cotton suit and seersucker suit to maintain the shape but still keep it light? Also for chest piece, if I use haircloth, would it be too heavy?
Many thanks.

Lucky you that you get to visit the headquarters of Zara. The theme of the convention definitely strikes a cord with me - I work in the knits category and we're always chasing after styles. I'm interesting to hear what the discussions were (if you share, of course)
SP- I'll certainly be taking notes and pictures. Unfortunately I won't get a chance to visit Santiago- I'm in and out in just over two days :(
Yen- There are many different weights of canvas available, and certainly haircloth is a good choice for the chest.
Good day. I invite you to read this news. They are a small part of the activities of Zara. After the reading, perhaps you'll stop talking so happily about Zara. Thanks.
