Ad Infinitum
What is Ad Infinitum?
Ad Infinitum is PROJECT’s curated space that celebrates the importance of – and the continued pursuit for – circularity, environmental responsibility, and sustainable practices within the fashion industry.
We are proud to be presenting this Sustainable Initiative in collaboration with Project Las Vegas. Vegan Fashion Week’s founder, Emmanuelle Rienda, has been working on syncing ethics and sustainability in the fashion industry since 2018.
Vegan Fashion Week® is a nonprofit organization designed to support fashion businesses in their transition to sustainable practices and educating consumers through events, research, education, and advocacy. We encourage the industry to take steps towards more responsible business practices to protect humans, animals and the planet. We inspire radical change in the way that our clothing is sourced, produced, promoted, and consumed.
