The report of BCU lecturer Nataliya Rozhin "The Impact of Technological Production on the Durability of Clothing" was interesting. The presentation and demonstration focused on exploring the relationship between decision-making processes in the development of fashion collections and the sustainability of the fashion industry. The workshops conducted by Nataliya were extremely advanced, when the participants of the seminar evaluated the environmental friendliness of the products and compared the price of the product and its environmental friendliness.
