Project Manager - FASHION360

Help us lead a circular shift in fashion and textiles!

ABOUT FASHION360

FASHION360 is a pioneering community at the intersection of fashion, circularity, technology, and innovation. Founded by industry leaders Trimco Group, Kezzler, and TOMRA, our mission is to help support the fashion industry on the sustainability journey by sharing insights into the lifecycle of a garment, providing the tools to help maximize the life of every garment, build a culture of designing for recycling, and offering a safe space to discuss the challenges we all face. At FASHION360, we envision a fashion industry that is stylish, innovative, and profitable, but also responsible. We believe in a future where fashion brands have a deep understanding of the origins, life cycle, and potential for renewal of the garments they create. Our goal is to help support the creation of a global ecosystem where circularity is in the threads of fashion.

WHO WE ARE

Behind FASHION360 are three industry leaders that are part of and/or surrounding the fashion and textiles industry:

• Kezzler is a software company and technology leader specialized in providing digital ID solutions for connected products, has helped build sustainable value chains for global businesses across several industries – and is now taking on the fashion and apparel industry.
• Trimco Group is the global leader in supply chain traceability, data management, and RFID solutions, with comprehensive expertise in brand identity optimization for apparel and footwear brands worldwide. Trimco advises on care label regulations and ESG compliance for international markets.
• TOMRA Textiles is a corporate venture scaling automated sensor-based sorting solutions to help close the gap in textiles circularity, building on TOMRA’s 50+ years of experience in deploying circular technology in material streams ranging from beverage containers to plastics, minerals and foods.

WHAT WE DO

FASHION360 is a collaborative community and an arena for fashion industry professionals to come together, engage in open discussions and knowledge sharing. Fashion360 welcomes fashion brands, industry experts, consumers, and anyone passionate about sustainable fashion to join us on this transformative journey. Our goal is to unite innovators from across the industry and throughout the value chain as we work together to create a more sustainable future for the fashion industry.

THE TASK: TAKING FASHION360 FORWARD

FASHION360 has delivered five events to date in Oslo, Munich, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and London. Each event has built on the last, with the London event in June 2024 attracting 130 attendees from the UK’s 25 largest fashion brands. Participating in our events require prior application and approval, and the speakers and panelists at our events are tailored to each location. Each edition of FASHION360 is also shaped by its participants, who take an active role in shaping and developing the conversation.

To help build the FASHION360 brand further, expanding the community, driving social advocacy and evolve it into a sustainable thought leadership platform, we are now seeking a Project Manager.
