More Courage For Change : Digital Conference On 6 July, 10am – 6pm

The conference „The New European Bauhaus – Werkstatt der Zukunft“ unites international experts on 6 July 2021 to redefine the future of the European fashion and textile industry with focus on the Green Deal.

In order to initiate or accelerate processes of rethinking and change, Fashion Council Germany, as a partner of the "New European Bauhaus" movement of the European Union, invites international experts to demonstrate and discuss new solutions.

The conference will be a platform for designers, politicians, teachers, retailers, textile manufacturers, artists and scientists who have a common goal: To combine good design, sustainability and inclusion.

Inspired by the "New European Bauhaus" initiative of the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, which she presented for the first time in the"State of the Union" speech in September 2020, the Fashion Council Germany, in cooperation with Messe Frankfurt, is organising the conference "The New European Bauhaus - Werkstatt der Zukunft". With a manifesto for a systematic change of the fashion industry, topics such as sustainability, crafts, digitalisation and technology will be the focus.

Frankfurt fashion Week  invites you to be part of something new, something beautiful – together with us!
