SUSTAINABLE FASHION WEEK

Uniting the community in taking creative action, to change the fashion system from the bottom up.

WHAT DO WE DO

We make sustainable fashion accessible.

Taking a grassroots approach, we help to empower people with skills and resources to help drive a positive shift in our collective relationship with clothes. 

We explore the different ways people can take action for a better fashion future, no matter their background or budget.

HOW DO WE DO IT

We are network builders.

We bring together organisations, brands, makers and activists working to change fashion, building a powerful collective and amplifying their work.

We deliver an annual programme of activity designed to inspire, upskill and resource the ordinary citizen.

WE ARE β€˜C2C’

SFW is community-led for community benefit.

We believe in the power of sharing values and activating change at a grassroots level. We work with a β€˜c2c’ approach: community to community; consumer to consumer, citizen to citizen.

This is about you! Be part of our growing #SFWcommunity.

SFW 2024

Taking place across the country, communities took action locally to change fashion globally. With the theme of The Power of Repair, the programme spanned over 50 UK towns and cities.

FASHION ON EARTH

Set to the backdrop of Luke Jerram’s β€˜GAIA’ in the immense Bristol Cathedral, we staged a celebration of fashion that is produced in harmony with Earth’s natural systems.

 

RECONNECTION

In autumn 2024 we’re launching β€˜Reconnection // The SFW podcast’ in collaboration with Louise Gookey. With exciting guests from the world of sustainable fashion sharing their stories.
