The event had clothing repair booths, panel discussions led by sustainability experts, and networking opportunities with like-minded individuals. Clementina “The Sustainable Latina” Martinez-Masarweh , the founder of Vida Vert Sustainable Film Festival and DNA Sustainable Threds, delivered a powerful speech highlighting the intersections of art, fashion, and film, and the need for diversity within the sustainability movement.
