If the fashion industry is keen on celebrating its glamorous ways, it’s not always so comfortable coming to terms with its more toxic aspects, addressing certain issues that should already have been dealt with. While fashion enjoys being self-referential, it’s not so good at being self-critical.⁠ ⁠ We met with @sophiedajez , a writer, moderator and consultant Brussels-born and based in Paris, to discuss her motivations behind Backstage Fashion Talks initiative, fostering a new community in the most important fashion capital in Europe and why she thinks people are relieved when they get the chance to truly speak their minds.⁠ ⁠ Read our interview by @philippepourhashemi ⁠ ⁠ #backstagefashiontalks #fashiontalks #fashionindustry

"Evolving means staying open to the progress that different processes and changes can bring about. One of the current issues is that there will be much fewer materials to use in the future. We will have to produce new natural materials that can be regenerated. That’s the only way in which industry can evolve in a virtuous manner." Patricia Urquiola⁠ ⁠ The stables of @cidgrandhornu have been transformed to host the work of designer @patricia_urquiola . ⁠ Combining craftsmanship and industry, she showcases her most recent furnishings and pieces for major brands, as well as projects from outside the industrial sphere. ⁠ ⁠ 🎤 Marie Pok, CID Grand Hornu Director and Patricia Urquiola shared about the aesthetic of transformation that runs through this event.⁠ ⁠ Read our full interview by @mikaelzikos via the linkin.bio and plan a visit to Grand Hornu.⁠ ⁠ 📍@cidgrandhornu ⁠ PATRICIA URQUIOLA META-MORPHOSA⁠ Until 26.04.2026⁠ ⁠ 📷️@caroline_dethier
