In the heart of Shanghai, BQX became more than an event space — it became a convergence point for denim legends Diesel, Frame, A.P.C., We11Done, and the upcycling pioneer useDEM. Set inside a container constructed by BQ, the gathering brought together not just brands, but a shared ambition: to make responsible production a baseline for fashion’s future.

For useDEM, with ten years of experience transforming surplus fabrics into premium products in China, this was not just another industry appearance. The team hosted an empowering masterclass for BQ staff, transforming abstract ESG goals into actionable daily practices, and reaffirming a simple yet radical philosophy: every fabric saved from landfill is a resource returned to the economy.

A defining moment came in a meeting with Jenny Gallyot, CEO of Diesel. The exchange in the charged atmosphere of BQX carried an unmistakable weight — the kind that signals the start of something that could shape the way fashion approaches sustainability.

With BQ’s position as a digital solutions leader for over 120 international brands, the partnership opens fertile ground for blending data-driven strategy with circular design. The result: not only market-ready products and profit out of waste, but a new digital and cultural arena where sustainability becomes the standard, not the niche.

This is just the first step toward a broader industry shift — one where fashion brands and tech-driven platforms collaborate to make sustainable style the default choice. The era is coming. And useDEM intends to build it.
