About Conscious Fashion Collective
Conscious Fashion Collective (CFC) is a global community and resource hub for sustainable fashion professionals and founders.
We curate industry-leading conscious fashion organizations, spotlight changemaking creatives and organizations, and offer educational resources that dive deeper into the issues facing the industry — and exploring the potential solutions we can help co-create.
Driven by the belief that we can drive more change when we work collaboratively, we run a membership community for sustainable fashion professionals that shares resources, hosts 4+ live events each month, and cultivates connections.
CFC is on a mission to co-create a world where slow fashion is the norm, authentic sustainability is the default, and equity is centered along the value chain. We believe that a better fashion system is possible when values-aligned changemakers come together for meaningful collaboration and cooperation.
We gather people who are pushing towards this regenerative fashion future. We hope you'll join us to support and become an integral part of this vision.
Here's what we offer in a snapshot:
None of this would be possible without our incredible team! Meet everyone below:
