The Best Eco Fashion Shows - At Home + International

Eco-fashion shows are great destinations for designers, buyers and other ethical and green industry leaders. With their spotlight on environmentally friendly fashion, these shows offer a platform for creative fashion designers to meet and share their creations with those who share their commitment for sustainability in the fashion industry.

Here, we take a look at some of the most interesting upcoming eco-fashion shows. I hope it will be helpful, whether you are looking to attend for inspiration, source the next incredible talent, or to participate.

Ethical Fashion Show (Berlin, Germany)

This eco-fashion show is held in Berlin every June. It focuses on sustainable casualwear and street-wear collections. The show also includes lectures, seminars and knowledge-sharing events. To exhibit at this show, at least 70% of the exhibitor collections should meet the specified sustainability criteria. There is greater preference for labels that are actively committed to ecological and social causes.
