The expo: 'Fashion Week: A New Era' celebrates fashion through the years and explores how this phenomenon developed over time. How does the event influence the fashion industry? And what does the future hold for fashion week?

Every year during Fashion Week the latest fashion is shown on catwalks in Paris, Milan and New York and other metropoles across the globe. This iconic event has a major impact on the fashion industry and on our own wardrobes. In 'Fashion Week: A New Era', the Fashion for Good Museum unpacks the Fashion Week, delving into its past, present and future. View historic looks from the runways of Balenciaga, Versace, Moschino and many more; discover the innovative work of Dutch fashion designer Ronald van der Kemp and digital fashion house The Fabricant.

Is a T-shirt, made of organic cotton, sustainable? What is fast fashion actually? Should I buy vegan leather or real leather? What does circularity mean? Recycled polyester must be sustainable, right?

The world of sustainable fashion is very complex, but to guide you through it, on the 30th of June the Fashion for Good Museum organises an interactive session called “Tips for a Sustainable Wardrobe”. A fun and interactive talk - including quiz and sustainable price - to help you make your wardrobe more sustainable.
Learn more about the fashion industry, discover how clothing can be made as sustainable as possible in an "ideal world" and why it is so difficult to achieve this. Next to that many tips & tricks will be shared on how you can easily make your wardrobe more sustainable. A must-attend event for anyone interested in fashion, sustainability or innovation.

Fashion for Good believes that the fashion industry can and must change and is an expert in spreading the right knowledge about this. The museum on the Rokin in Amsterdam tells the stories behind the clothes you wear and how the right choices for those clothes can have a positive impact on the fashion industry.

In collaboration with the Flowers & Powers boutique, a beautiful flower shop with fresh and dried flowers in Amsterdam, we organise a special event at the museum to help you get your home ready for spring with dried flower bouquets or flower hoops.

As you might have seen, the GROW exhibition at the Fashion for Good Museum is filled with flower installations thanks to the amazing help of Flowers & Powers, a beautiful boutique with fresh and dried flowers in Amsterdam.

We are organising a workshop together with Flowers & Powers, where you will learn how to work with dried flowers and will make a stunning bouquet or flower hoop to take home. All while enjoying some drinks and snacks.

The Fashion for Good Clothes Swap is making its comeback On the 30th of September 2021 at the Fashion for Good Museum in Amsterdam!

On the 30th of September 2021, Fashion for Good is organising a Clothes Swap at the Fashion for Good Museum. An easy and fun way to refresh your wardrobe with new (second hand) items and also a perfect way of giving your unworn items a new home. Good for you, the planet and your wallet!

Clothes Swap rules:
We categorise the clothes using a token system. For every item you hand in, you'll receive either a yellow token worth 1 point (for fast fashion items or similar), a red token worth 2 points (for mid-end brands) or a blue token worth 3 points (for high-end brands). You can then use your tokens to "buy" items of equivalent points. For example, you could exchange 3 yellow tokens for 3 "yellow" items or for one "red" item because each is worth 3 points.

- You can hand in a maximum of 5 items per person
- Underwear and swimwear are not accepted
- Clothes must be clean and washed

Extra fun!
During this edition you can also swap with our close friends of the museum and Dutch (sustainable) influencers Milou Turpijn, Sara Dubbeldam (When Sara Smiles) Lisa Stel (Lisa Goes Vegan) and Stephanie van den Sigtenhorst (Let's Talk Slow)!

About this event

Hybrid event: join virtually or in person at the Fashion for Good Museum!

The natural world has always been a source of inspiration for the fashion world, with designers continuously looking to nature for colours, textures, forms and materials.

In our upcoming masterclass, fashion designer, illustrator and co-founder of the World Makers Foundation, Karim Adduchi, will talk about bridging the gap between art and fashion, connecting different cultures and the key components in his work: heritage, craftsmanship and nature.

We’ll be covering a day in the life of Karim, and addressing questions such as:

• In what way does his work take care of people and the planet?
• How to balance sustainability and commerciality?
• What you, as a consumer, can do to have a positive impact?

If you have any questions for Karim, please make sure to submit them in advance or ask them live during the Q&A!
