About Entre-Fashion Process
This platform, the ENTRE-FASHION Monitoring Tool, has been created to support graduates of the Green VETRINE course and their mentors in local textile and clothing companies during an 8-month journey of sustainable product co-creation.
This tool enables participants to track progress, receive tailored feedback, and ultimately present their creations for public voting.
The Entre-Fashion Process merges creativity with sustainability in a mentoring process that gives learners real-world experience. Learners engage in an 8-month simulation phase, guided by mentors, to conceptualize and realize eco-conscious fashion items.
