The Embassy of Denmark in Vietnam, in partnership with Net Zero Vietnam Co., Ltd., held a public lecture entitled “The Future of Fashion – Dialogue on Sustainability” on Thursday, October 17, 2025.
The event brought together Vietnamese and Danish representatives from the fields of fashion, design, education and sustainability to exchange views on how creativity, cultural heritage and social responsibility can shape a more ethical and climate-friendly fashion industry.
Mette Ekeros, Deputy Ambassador of Denmark to Vietnam, emphasized the importance of cultural dialogue in promoting sustainable development.
“Although Denmark and Vietnam are geographically far apart, we share strong mutual interests in sustainability and innovation,” she said.
Mr. Ekeros pointed out that the fashion industries of both countries are becoming increasingly interconnected through global value chains and consumer trends.
“Fashion is not only a means of expressing personal and cultural identity, but also an area where we can drive positive change through responsible production and consumption,” she added.
Participants discussed how Vietnam’s fashion industry can expand globally through sustainable development, the importance of maintaining cultural identity in design, and opportunities for mutual learning between Vietnam and Denmark in addressing common environmental challenges.
The meeting was held as part of broader efforts by the Danish Embassy to promote sustainable development through cultural exchanges and strengthen bilateral cooperation under the Green Strategic Partnership between the two countries.
