Sustainability in fashion is no longer a nice gesture its the way forward. The green revolution is upon us, and those who are not on board will soon be left behind
Located inside a former oil silo, HFW was anything but an ordinary fashion week. The eco-village concept was based on a circular economy and sustainable values, creating a micro-society that encourages connecting and co-creating between various industries. Also important to note is the fact that everyone behind HFW, including Evelyn, is a volunteer. They created and produced the entire showcase based on a shared vision and a passion to encourage change. At HFW, sustainable designers from all over the world united to display collections that were at once on-trend and ethical, proving that we’ve moved far beyond just hemp and bamboo alternatives.
