UNITING THE COMMUNITY TO TAKE ACTION AND CHANGE FASHION FROM THE BOTTOM UP

Sustainable Fashion Week

Sustainable Fashion Week (SFW) is the UK’s leading fashion event dedicated to people and planet. It brings together communities, creatives, brands, and changemakers to celebrate fashion that respects both the environment and the people who make our clothes.

Rather than focusing on high fashion runways, SFW champions hands-on workshops, upcycling, mending, and education — giving people the tools and inspiration to make more conscious choices. It’s a movement rooted in creativity, accessibility, and sustainability, with events taking place across the UK and beyond.

Join us as we spotlight circularity, celebrate craftsmanship, and reimagine what fashion can be.
