Sustainable Fashion Events October

The month starts with the Dutch Sustainable Fashion Week, followed by the well-known Textile Exchange event, and ends with the Sustainable Angle and Performance Days fairs. Let's have a look!

‍

Dutch Fashion Week

Dutch Fashion Week takes place from 8 to 13 October in Amsterdam with lots of workshops, pop-up experiences, fashion films, and swap parties. The program has a focus on circular textiles with an upcycling theme.

‍

Textile Exchange

The annual Textile Exchange Conference convenes leaders from across the industry—including brands, supply chain partners, innovators, farmers, non-profits, and academics—for three days of curated, collective learning. This year's event will be held in Lisbon from October 13 to 17.

Under the theme "Shifting Landscapes," the agenda will emphasize the urgent need for our industry to adapt to changing environments. This adaptation is crucial both for mitigating risk and unlocking opportunities to transform the entire system.

Performance Days

Performance Days, the leading functional fabric fair, will be held in Munich from October 29 to 30.

More than just a sourcing destination for high-performance fabrics and accessories, PERFORMANCE DAYS offers a focused alternative to larger, often overwhelming trade fairs. Since 2008, this semi-annual event has been a must-attend for designers, product managers, purchasers, and material managers, providing an ideal venue for manufacturers and industry decision-makers to connect in a concentrated atmosphere.

Featured Program Highlights:

• Material Matters: Unlocking the Value of Proper Feedstock Prep
• Biodiversity Along the Textile Supply Chain: Recognising Relevance, Making an Impact
• T-REX: Creating a Blueprint for a Circular Textile Ecosystem in the EU
• The Power of Collaboration: Driving Sustainable Innovation Through Strategic Partnerships
