What does fast fashion and slow fashion mean? What are the advantages of local design? It is great if the owner of designer pieces knows the author and his philosophy. Each design has its own specific signature which makes it an original. They are the opposite of mass manufacture which yearly produces around 150-billion pieces of clothes. Lukáš will talk about the real price we pay for a five-euro T-shirt. He will talk about his own production, ideas and collections. About production of responsible designers. He will show us that it is possible to be economical, ecological and also responsible in the field of fashion industry. Lukáš Krnáč studies fashion design in the Univerzita Tomáše Bati in Zlín. His brand has been on the market since 2017. He presents his collections on events such as Mercedes Benz Prague Fashion Week, but as well in Ukraine and London. His target groups are young customers who like a little amount of sarcasm and humour, but his fashion speaks to professionals of the field too. A proof of which are prizes such as Best Fashion Graduate, Best in design – fashion design a Grand Prize, or recent one BIG SEE Fashion Design Award. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Have you thought about the journey of the clothes that you wear? Who made them, where were they made, and was the process kind to the environment? In the era of fast fashion, designer Pyone Thet Thet Kyaw, asks us to pause and think about ethical fashion. Pyone is the founder of Virya Myanmar, an ethical clothing brand based in Yangon. Her passion for ethical fashion originated from her personal experience at very young age when she witnessed exploitation in the industry. Since then she has been determined that she would one day establish a socially minded clothing brand, which is now called Virya , a social business committed to empowering young women from underprivileged backgrounds. Prior to being an entrepreneur, Pyone spent more than 10 years in development field as a Governance Adviser at UKAid in Yangon and a number of other professional positions in the development field. She studied in Canada as a Jeanne Sauve Scholar and in the United Kingdom as a Chevening Scholar.
