AMSTERDAM – Fashion for Good launched its new Good Shop theme REBORN 11th of October. REBORN dives into the brands that are trying to close the loop in fashion, creating apparel and footwear that is circular and reduces the need to use new resources.
The new theme features brands such as FRANKIE Collective, reworked overstock that is transformed into highly desired sportswear. Silfir, unisex workwear that can be repaired for every season to keep them wearable and fashionable for longer, and a capsule collection of C2C Certified apparel from C&A.

Circular fashion
Circularity in fashion is one of the core ambitions of Fashion for Good who brings together key industry players to collaborate on the creation of a fashion value chain that is restorative and regenerative. Shifting away for the current take-make-waste linear model. REBORN asks the question “What if we had a circular system that gave old clothes a new life?” The answer is celebrated in the Good Shop through the brands featured that show a few of the creative ways in which clothing is finding new life after use. The carefully curated pieces pioneer a range of innovations that are needed in extending the lifecycle of our clothes, to keep them from being burned or ending up in landfill.

Visitors can join for the chance to dive into the topic with leading experts, expand their knowledge, and learn from innovators about the pioneering solutions changing the industry and what they can do to make change happen.
