Join us for the first Drinks x Design of 2026, focusing on Sustainable Fashion & Fiber Design, in partnership with Bamboo Midtown hosted at Jefferson Hub space.

Explore the intersection of fashion, materials, and sustainability at this edition of Drinks x Design. Centered on fiber and material innovation for slow fashion, the evening highlights designers who are rethinking how garments are made and what they are made from.

Engage directly with fashion designers through material demonstrations, process insights, and up-close presentations of their work. From experimental textiles to low-impact production methods, this is an opportunity to experience the systems shaping a more responsible fashion future.
