The Dutch Sustainable Fashion Week Foundation is hosting the nation's premier sustainable fashion event for the eighth consecutive year. Running from September 23 to 29, 2021, DSFW aims to boost public engagement with the fashion industry's transformation, spotlight innovations, and equip you with practical steps to contribute positively. This edition guides visitors through straightforward actions for a more sustainable wardrobe, showcasing developments, insights into ethical practices, and platforms for emerging designers. Here's a curated program selection:
The week kicks off with a standout fashion show by young talent Meggie van Zwieten, a digital artist specializing in 3D artworks and digital fashion using augmented and mixed reality.
Her 13-look collection blends avant-garde, sci-fi aesthetics inspired by nature with pieces emphasizing personal expression over consumerism. Crafted through collaborations with diverse artists, YANA reveals the exciting potential of virtual fashion.
Partnering with communication agency Make Sense, DSFW unveils an engaging, user-friendly test to assess your clothing values and gain tips for mindful choices. Launched at an influencer event with jeans expert JeansCentre, it's set to gain massive traction during the week.
As an official partner, MUMSTER MOVEMENT hosts 'Awareness Day – Full Circle,' featuring intimate, interactive events to reshape your perspective on fashion. Highlights include screenings of the 'Full Circle' documentary and the launch of its namesake circular clothing collection from donated textiles, held across cities nationwide.
Curated by partner Alexandra Linn, this final day targets children and youth—the next generation driving sustainability. Activities nationwide include coloring contests, reading campaigns, and workshops. In partnership with Technotrend foundation, we issue challenges, while Textielrace launches races throughout DSFW.
