Linda Speldewinde, Managing Director of the Academy of Design (AOD) and Founder of SLDF, elaborates, “This event brings great value to the local apparel industry and aids in developing our national economy by placing the Sri Lankan apparel industry as the leader of ethical design and fashion manufacturing practices. This corresponds to the global fashion movement towards sustainability and ethical practices, where consumers are no longer ignorant about the origins of what they wear, and retailers, designers and manufacturers possess the insight and knowledge to answer this need”.
SLDF 2010, in partnership with the Export Development Board (EDB) a will bring together leading international and local experts in key design sectors encompassing Fashion, Jewellery, Graphic Design and Advertising, Craft, Product Design and Interior Design and Architecture. This event will consist of a rich and exciting weeklong programme where workshops, panel discussions, fashion shows, presentations, seminars, and demonstrations will engage visitors as well as retailers, design enthusiasts and experts in the relevant design sectors.
