Agnes Weber

Founder I Mended

Innovation fuels circularity when data aligns with design. True progress happens when brands can create sustainable products, track their lifecycle, and connect with consumers seamlessly. Circularity isn’t just an initiative—it’s a fundamental shift in how we innovate and operate for a sustainable future.

Ana Kristiansson

Founder & CEO I Portia

I see digital fashion as the future of sustainable style—endless creativity, efficiency and immersive experiences. Create once, apply in countless ways, to craft dreams and redefine our identities, blending imagination with innovation.

Ann Claes

Techno-optimist & Co-Founder I Masjien

AI-driven circularity transforms sustainability by integrating intelligent systems into resource management, production, and design. This approach minimizes waste, maximizes value, and fosters economic growth. It creates regenerative solutions that build a resilient future, proving that innovation and environmental stewardship can thrive together.

Anna Franziska Michel

CEO & Co-Founder I Yoona.ai

The fashion industry must embrace technology to stay relevant. The key challenge lies in doing so without resorting to gimmicks or compromising the core principles that make a brand valuable and desirable. To achieve this, we need creatives who are proficient in technology and confident in applying it in ways that remain true to the brand’s essence.

Asaaf Reeb

Founder & CEO I XXII

There is a gap between consumer mindsets and behaviours when it comes to sustainability and fashion. Consumers want and need to be sustainable, but are programmed to be driven towards newness. This puts the fashion industry in a challenging position.

Ashley Krupnik

Senior Director I WGSN

Carlo Capasa

Chairman I Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana

The future of fashion lies in rethinking how we create, consume, and circulate. Circular models like rental, resale, and upcycling, paired with supply chain innovations, aren’t just trends, they are transformative solutions.

Catherine Hansmann

Sustainability Manager I Fashion Council Germany

With the Sustainability Requirements being a mandatory admission criterion for Copenhagen Fashion Week’s show brands for several seasons, it is inspiring to go into partnerships with other organisations, like the Fashion Council Germany, to achieve greater industry alignment. It emphasises fashion weeks’ and councils’ opportunities to be part of transitioning the industry for the better.

Cecilie Thorsmark

CEO I Copenhagen Fashion Week

AI is a tool that empowers us to innovate, solve challenges, and imagine new possibilities. It does not replace human creativity—it unlocks new potential

I have a very special relationship with my clothes. It's like a friendship for me. My favourite pieces are like my best friends. They make me feel strong, protect me and let me express myself.

Christiane Arp

Chairwoman I Fashion Council Germany

Circular business models turn the post-purchase phase into a powerful business opportunity. Our vision at Prolong is turn aftercare services into a shift from selling products to offering services that extend product life, deepen customer engagement, and build loyalty. This approach lengthens the customer lifecycle while driving sustainability and fostering a truly circular future.

Craig Crawford

Founderpreneur I CrawfordIT

Sustainability is not a trend, it's a necessity. In fashion and everywhere else, we face the common challenge of redefining innovation. We'll explore how industries can learn from each other to set new standards and create sustainable solutions that embrace freedom, creativity and responsibility.

Daniela Eichhorn

Project Manager Education I Fashion Council Germany

Addressing circularity as a business is not "a nice to have" anymore it's a must. Circularity can bring many benefits from efficient use of materials and production processes up to a unique storytelling and market differentiation. Embracing a circular mindset force us to think outside our regular patterns and habits, be creative and highlight exceptional aspects in the business

Danielle Keller Aviram

Founder, Sustainable Jewelry Consultant and Researcher I See Through

Students at Istituto Marangoni Milano are encouraged to consider the ethical implications of their design, communication and business practices and to make positive contributions to society. By educating, inspiring and empowering our students, we can help create a fashion industry that respects people, planet, and even profit.

Diana Marian Murek

Director of Education I Istituto Marangoni Milano

Circular business models are an opportunity for companies to shift from a linear take-make-waste approach to a more sustainable and potentially regenerative operating model. If done right, this can combine environmental benefits with economic success, better profitability and higher supply chance resilience.

Dr. Manuel Braun

Director I Systemiq Ltd.

In our presentation, ‘A Resource Nexus Approach in the Textile Sector’, you can learn more about optimizing resource use, reducing waste, and contributing to sustainable industry practices.

Presentation of the first European Fashion Alliance industry report, unveiling key findings on the status and concerns of the Europe's creative fashion industry in terms of sustainability and regulations, technological evolutions and skills.

Elke Timmermann

I'm thrilled to dive deeper into the inspiring sustainable stories of Berlin's most talented designers and explore practical tools for building a clear, authentic narrative around sustainability — while avoiding the trap of greenwashing.

Emma Vloeimans

Senior Editor & Founder I Harpers Bazaar NL & TRIBUTE TO MAGAZINE

Despite new legislation and directives that are shaping sustainability efforts, reducing the negative impact of fashion is not happening fast enough. Ensuring ambitious and holistic efforts across the industry is more important than ever, and collaboration is the key to creating change.

Frederik Larsen

Co-Founder I In futurum

How do you innovate in fashion? It seems like a tough question because it feels like everything has been done, but it hasn't. Fashion constantly reinvents itself with every fashion week. It may be a silent evolution but it doesn't mean its not a signiicant one.

Hanan Besovic

Fashion Commentator I @ideservecouture

Fashion is a huge part of many peoples' lives and has a big role in shaping our culture. I'm looking forward to talking about my relationship with clothes and sharing some memories and the emotions I have with the pieces that accompanied me in my life.

Iris Berben

Actress

Transparency isn’t just a marketing strategy; it’s a commitment to accountability. When brands integrate technology to share their supply chain story, they build a foundation of trust that lasts.

Janis Künkler

Co-Founder & Managing Director I Reverse Supply

Digital fashion is reshaping the industry as a revolutionary force through blending creativity with technology. Joined by today’s digital pioneers, this panel examines whether digital fashion’s focus on innovation and self-expression can inspire a shift toward mindful consumption and transformative cultural change.

Jules Volleberg

Julia Aruni Kirschner

Director Impact & Innovation I Armedangels

It is my true pleasure to be hosting the panel talk at this years edition of METAMORPHOSIS and focus on rethinking our consumer habits to call for a progressive and sustainable change.

Julian Daynov

Creative Director I Bureau Julian Daynov

Two thoughts spring to mind when it comes to sustainability communication: it's either a minefield or an act of moralization. Only few find it to be fun or offering real added value. And so, of course, it achieves little in the way of true transformation. To get the masses excited and involved, sustainability needs positive storytelling focused on the benefits for the individual and the industry.

Kirsten Siegler

Co-Founder I vbc Agency

Fashion in itself has always synonymous with innovation and movement; aesthetics however are linked to power – and power likes to be static and conservative. If we want to make a change – if we want to disassemble the unsustainable status quo; fashion must embrace innovation and the emergent. To be a brave opposition against the powers that be.

Leroy van Halen

Tutor Fashion Design I Willem de Kooning Academy

I am thrilled to intertwine sustainable fashion, material research and responsible sourcing strategies with panelists that are at the forefront of innovation in fashion.

Lilian Weiermann

Sustainability Consultant I Scholz & Friends Reputation, Co-Founder I The Stitch

I'm really excited to be returning to Metamorphosis. The themes that the event will discuss are essential for future-proofing the fashion industry.

Maliha Shoaib

Reporter I Vogue Business

Lueder produces Ready-to-wear collections that generate more confidence in their wearers, which is the UPS of the brand. They call this mental armour. LUEDER puts people first, which then affects how they treat the planet to be able to imagine a positive future

Marie Lueder

Director & Designer I Marie Lueder

Innovation questions what is already existing and keeps renewing our relationship with our environment

Michael Philouze

Men's Fashion Editor I Vogue Magazine (US Edition)

All functionalities in fashion eCommerce—recommerce, commerce, rental, etc.—start with what's in your wardrobe.
However, none of these services know their users' wardrobes, leading to inefficiencies: no personalization in commerce, missed reselling opportunities, and a lack of styling suggestions tailored to your existing pieces.

Michel Steiskal

Co-founder & CEO I CHOYCE

While Digital Product Passports are often perceived as a major challenge for Fashion and Luxury brands in terms of implementing traceability processes and moving to increased transparency; DPPs can be a catalyst for positive change. We believe the Digital Product Passport represents an important opportunity to unlock the next generation of circularity services and a new wave of economic value.

Michele Casucci

Founder & General Manager I Certilogo

True innovation in fashion lies in embracing circularity—rethinking design, extending product life, and creating systems that eliminate waste. At METAMORPHOSIS, I’ll share how transparency and technology can transform the industry, proving that traceability isn’t just a choice but the future of fashion.

Niki de Schryver

CEO & Founder I COSH!

Digital transformation signals a cultural shift where minimalism in physical fashion coexists with maximalism in the digital sphere.

Odeta Jacė

Future and culture analyst, next-gen tech experiences strategist IStoryfounders

At the crossroads of knowledge economy and sustainability, circularity in fashion simultaneously concerns major factors such as upcycling, downcycling, business model innovations, societal transformation, R&D and public policy. How can this progress in a coherent way?

Pascal Morand

Executive President I Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode

Fashion, architecture, or any form of creativity have always been of great importance for automotive design. I see a special connection between fashion and interior design, and I'm always inspired by it in my work. Fashion often paves the way for new materials and techniques in interior trimming, and that helps us to push the boundaries of interior design.

Philipp Fromme

Lead Interior Designer I NIO

Circularity and innovation have become industry buzzwords — it's important to explore what they really mean, and thus how realistic and tangible changes can be made to build a brighter future.

Rebecca Hill

Fashion Editor I Freelance (Drapers, Elle, Marie Claire)

Now more than ever.

Robin Balser

CEO & Founder I VinoKilo

Circularity in the fashion and textile industry is essential for reducing waste, conserving resources, and addressing the environmental impact of the traditional linear model. Achieving this transition efficiently requires connecting all participants across the extended circular value chain with accurate and actionable data. Such connectivity enables seamless collaboration, enhances transparency, and supports informed decision-making - all of which are critical elements for driving sustainable practices across the industry.

Roman Houlbreque

Director Partnerships I Retraced GmbH

My innovation combines the food supply chain and the textile supply chain by utilising pineapple leaves from my family farm to craft a new sustainable yarn.It is completely biodegradable and can be recycled many times, which helps to reduce the textile waste and the dependency on crude oil based materials. Like that I not only created an zero waste fibre, but also a circular agriculture concept and hence serve an idea to optimize even two big industries that still contribute a lot to the pollution of our planet.

Rony Khan

Founder I Re-Root Tex Solution UG

The ESPR is undoubtedly one of if not the most relevant EU regulation when it comes to the circularity of textile products. With the ambitious aim to improve the sustainability of products placed on the EU market, notably by establishing ecodesign requirements for these products, the ESPR represents both a great opportunity and a major challenge for the fashion industry.

Salomé Roch

Policy consultant - EU support & initiatives I European Fashion Alliance

By implementing Copenhagen Fashion Week’s minimum sustainability requirements at Berlin Fashion Week, we demonstrate that sustainability and innovation are integral to the future of fashion. This step underscores our commitment to aligning the German fashion industry with global standards and driving meaningful change.

Scott Lipinski

CEO I Fashion Council Germany

The future of sustainable materials lies not only in innovation, but also in intention. At Lenzing, sustainability is woven into our DNA. We are committed to creating fibres that are lighter on our planet - minimising carbon footprints, reducing water consumption and maximising positive impact. That is why we are pleased to participate in the Metamorphosis panel discussion series.

Simon Heeger

Business Development Manager Global Accounts I Lenzing AG

Innovation thrives where sustainability meets artistry. At AVENIR, circularity is not just a practice but a promise to transform surplus into timeless elegance for a more conscious future.

Sophie Claussen

Founder I AVENIR

At NIO we have the Vision about the 'Blue Sky Coming'. With each vehicle launch we implement sustainable materials which lower NIO's carbon foot print. I believe that even the smallest change will guide us towards a circular economy.

Stephanie Waser

Head of CMF Design I NIO

Design has to be reformed in times of climate change and social injustice. A good Design needs to consider the environmental consequences of its production and the possible exploitation of its workers. Which means the art of modern design is to weave a long political thread into its fabric.

Sydney Nwakanma

Designer I Emeka Suits

I am so excited to be speaking at Berlin Fashion Week which is groundbreaking in terms of looking at sustainable and social justice issues for brands and consumers alike.Their values align with our own at Fashion Roundtable and I am delighted to be part of the roster of talks this season

Tamara Cincik

Founder & CEO / Professor of Fashion & Sustainability & Director of the National Centre for Fashion & Sustainability Bath Spa University I Fashion Roundtable

Innovation means creating seamless workflows that integrate digital and physical processes, reducing redundancies and fostering efficiency. To advance this process, one must learn to navigate the dynamic landscape of potentially overwhelming digital tools.

Taskin Goec

Mixed Reality Designer

As a technology enthusiast, I believe that gradually integrating innovative tools into existing workflows enhances transparency and supports brands in establishing circular practices without fully overhauling their pipelines. The term circularity still feels like a vague concept, and I’m excited to join the Metamorphosis dialogue to drive the discussion around identifying effective solutions.
