What is the potential for fashion rental market?
We invite companies and brands who are curious about the rental market to a workshop held by Kolding Design school.
The aim of this workshop is to explore perspectives within rental of clothing as a circular strategy.
– Which knowledge is covered by research, and where are our knowledge gaps?
– What is the potential of data from a rental platform?
– Which specific value does rental offer to consumers, as well as to fashion brands within design and retail? And what are the barriers to overcome?
– What are the perspectives within rental as a means to lowering CO2?
– And which knowledge and practices is needed to support businesses within fashion design and retail transitioning towards rental as a circular strategy?
Researchers from University of Southern Denmark and Kolding Design School as well as Rentista will present data, trends and debat questions.
The results of the day will be allocated into a future application for reseraching more within this topic.
