SUSTAINABLE FASHION WEEK 2025
SAVE THE DATE // 27 SEP - 5 OCT
FASHION, RECLAIMED
Our theme for 2025 invites you to take the power back.
Reclaim fashion through reclaiming your style, your connection to your clothing, your skills, your community, your love of colour, the magic of secondhand, the love of visible repair and the secrets of invisible repair!
Reclaim fashion through a variety of activities. Take action in powerful partnership with your network, or even just on your own… in an individual, unique resistance of the industry’s status quo.
SUSTAINABLE FASHION WEEK IS COMMUNITY-LED
You can host an activity as an individual, brand, organisation or a community group.
Anyone can take part and everyone is welcome!
PROGRAMME FORMAT
The programme is split between our Hubs and our Community Fringe events, all hosted by brilliant and inspiring people in the community.

A ‘Hub’ is an immersive space which delivers at least 3 different types of activity - for example: workshops, talks and a clothes swap.
They can take place in one venue or staged in multiples places across a town, city (or even county!). Hubs can be hosted by one person or multiple partners.
Hubs take place on the main SFW week between 27 Sep and 5 Oct.
Interested in hosting a Hub? Brilliant! Sign up using the button below.
COMMUNITY FRINGE
A ‘Fringe’ event is a one-off activity like a skills learning workshop or a fashion show.
These can be tiny or large in scale, and can be hosted by one person/organisation or a collective of people coming together. Often participants will run a number of one-off events in the Fringe programme, for example: a series of workshops.
The Fringe runs either side of the main SFW week, between 20 Sep and 12 Oct.
