As part of the collaboration, the BFC will roll out the Sustainability Requirements framework developed by CPHFW. This will kick off with the BFC NEWGEN initiative in 2025, where the Minimum Standards will be embedded into the existing mandatory criteria for admission. Following an onboarding and piloting period, the full implementation will come into effect fully by January 2026.
BFC NEWGEN is the world leading designer programme which supports the best emerging fashion design talent and represents key voices in the British fashion industry. Applications open today for highly creative designer fashion businesses that has been actively trading for less than 3 years.
“We are thrilled to align with the Copenhagen Fashion Week Sustainability Requirements across BFC NEWGEN, this builds on our existing Minimum Standards and reaffirms our commitment to driving positive change across the global fashion industry,” said Caroline Rush, Chief Executive of British Fashion Council. “This partnership is a significant step in ensuring that sustainability becomes integral to the future of fashion. Together, we are creating a framework that empowers emerging designer fashion businesses to lead the way and contribute tangibly to a more sustainable and responsible industry.”
CEO of Copenhagen Fashion Week Cecilie Thorsmark, added: “We are delighted to join forces with the British Fashion Council to further expand the reach of our Sustainability Requirements. This partnership not only fosters much-needed industry alignment but also underscores the unique potential of fashion weeks and councils to drive positive change within the industry. With the British Fashion Council, as an influential player in the global fashion landscape, we see a lot of potential to further amplify the impact of our collective commitment to sustainability.”
This partnership is a key part of the BFC’s ongoing work through its Institute of Positive Fashion (IPF). The IPF was launched as a think tank to address the fashion industry’s environmental impact and aims to guide the industry toward sustainable practices, promoting climate action while serving as a platform for research, collaboration and education to accelerate positive change. 2025 marks five years of the IPF and this collaboration with CPHFW underscores the BFC’s continued commitment to drive a more sustainable future.
About the Sustainability Requirements
The Sustainability Requirements were introduced by Copenhagen Fashion Week in close collaboration with their Knowledge Partners In Futurum and Dansk Fashion & Textile in January 2020. Since then, they have been updated during 2024 to reflect industry developments as well as changes in the EU policy landscape. The framework represents an essential part of CPHFW’s sustainability strategy to drive comprehensive change in the fashion industry and was reviewed by their Advisory Board and an international panel of experts.
Disaineri sõnul tähendasid need suved muru niitmist, adru korjamist, puude ladumist ja köögiviljapeenarde hooldamist – kohustusi, mis lapsena tundusid tüütu rutiinina, ent mille järel tekkis alati uhkus ja rahulolu tehtud töö üle. Just see kahepalgelisus — töö kui hädavajadus ja töö kui vabastav rituaal — moodustabki kollektsiooni tuuma.
Portaili vahendusel avaneb nüüd erakordne võimalus piiluda Tallinn Fashion Weeki moelava kaadri taha, kus päikese käes pleekinud kangad, murulibledega kaetud pinnad ja käsitsi kootud detailid jutustavad loo suvistest pingutustest ja hetkest, mil loodus ning inimene kohtuvad.

Riga Fashion Week loodi 2004. aastal Baltic Fashion Federationi presidendi Elena Strahova eestvedamisel ning see toimub kaks korda aastas, kevadel ja sügisel. Kolmel esimesel Riia moenädalal osales oma kollektsiooniga ka Aldo Järvsooning vastastikune koostöö ja sõprus on kestnud juba 21 aastat.
Sel korral esitlesid Aldo Järvsoo, Ketlin Bachmann ja Riina Põldroos oma kollektsioone ühise moemaja Embassy of Fashion lipu all. Aldo Järvsoo kollektsioonis jõudsid lavale ka Tanel Veenre ehted.
Kui Portaili lemmikkomplektid said kajastust juba siin, siis täna jagame meeleldi lavataguseid kaadreid sellest, mis toimus Riias Embassy of Fashioni moeetenduse ajal ja eel.
Vaata backstage’i kaadreid galeriist!
Eesti moefännidele korraldab Embassy of Fashion juba 5. novembril kell 18.00 kliendiõhtu, kus Roosikrantsi 15 stuudiopoes saab lisaks uutele kollektsioonidele nautida moekaid suupisteid, mõnusaid kokteile ja Tanel Veenre uut ehtekollektsiooni.
