To speed up the process of creating a sustainable future for fashion and protecting our planet, we launched the Global Change Award in 2015. It has been called the Nobel Prize of fashion and is one of the biggest innovation challenges in the world for early stage innovations, and the first of its kind in the fashion industry. We invite innovators and entrepreneurs all over the world to submit their ideas. The five most promising innovations are selected by a panel of international experts and embark on a one year-long Accelerator Program.
The aim of the Global Change Award is to find and support game-changing innovations that can break the linear traditions of fashion and completely change the way garments are designed, produced, shipped, bought, used and recycled.

LOS ANGELES, CA Everyone wants to solve LA s homeless crisis, but few want to see shelters or low-income housing constructed in their neighborhoods. So City Councilman Bob Blumenfield is looking for a way to turn the not in my backyard sentiment on its head.
A citywide program to fund the construction of granny flats to house formerly homeless Angelenos could be enough to get homeowners lining up to invite people experiencing homelessness into their backyards, he hopes. Blumenfield this week proposed exploring the creation of a citywide granny flat financing program. The proposal piggybacks on other efforts to make it easier to construct backyard units to help ease the affordable housing crisis.
