Nina Marenzi is the founder of The Future Fabrics Expo, the largest dedicated showcase for innovative sustainable textiles, with educational background information on sustainability in textiles and fashion displayed throughout, plus a seminar series running alongside the expo, visited by thousands of fashion professionals every year.

The expo was born out of her dissertation ‘Organic Cotton: Reasons Why the Fashion Industry is Dragging its Heels’ for her MSc in Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development at Imperial College. Marenzi has previously worked as a consultant on various environmental policy initiatives.
