Sustainability in Fashion

Sustainability in fashion

The fashion industry leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to sustainability. The multidisciplinary event We Make M-ODE, organised by Stichting M-ODE, offers an insight into the possibilities – through fashion shows and other fashionable activities. You can visit them during WeMakeThe.City for inspiration on how to make and enjoy innovative and sustainable fashion.

WOW Fashion Inside Out

Over the weekend, you can visit a dazzling, futuristic and sustainable fashion spectacle on the Bos en Lommerplein, offering a fashion show, workshops, and other fashion-related activities.
