Biodegradable materials which you can use endlessly to create fashion pieces: this might sound as something which is currently out of reach, but the development of biomaterials is accelerating as time passes. And this is good news, knowing that the materials the fashion industry currently uses are harmful for the environment. However, a lot of questions arise when it comes to the topic of natural and sustainable materials. What are biomaterials exactly and what can we do with them as of now? These questions are answered in the newest exposition in the Fashion for Good Museum, called ‘GROW: the future of fashion’, open until April 2022. [DUTCH ARTICLE]

Growth is what fashion designers are seeking more than ever and Fashion for Good’s newest exhibition “Grow: The Future of Fashion” illustrates how that can be done with natural and sustainable materials.

Seasoned talents Karim Adduchi and Iris van Herpen also contributed to the exposition with designs made from biomaterials.

Following suit, the Amsterdam-based hub for sustainability Fashion for Good has just launched GROW, a programme led by six talents who are experimenting with biomaterials and the discourse around them. The talents have been chosen by the jury formed by designers Iris Van Herpen and Daan Roosegaarde, BOTTER and Nina Ricci’s creative directors Rushemy Botter and Lisi Herrebrugh, and Vogue Netherlands’ editor in chief Rinke Tjepkema.

Fashion for Good, a platform for sustainable fashion innovation, has announced that it has selected six young creative talents for its Grow talent project from a pool of 119 applicants from the Netherlands with the help of its jury of professionals. It is a 3-month programme in which the creatives will create an exhibition for the Fashion for Good museum.

On April 6, 2021, the global sustainability initiative Fashion for Good launched a new exhibition called “Grow” at its location in Amsterdam, which is entirely dedicated to biomaterials. It is about substances from fruit waste, mushroom leather, spider silk and dyes from bacteria and algae, but also questions about the topic of what exactly are biomaterials?

They come from the future, yet they have always been there: bio-materials , that is, consistencies of biological origin, are today the essential “never again” of maison in search of a sustainable compromise between sufficient production volumes and respect for environment. Studied in the laboratories, their DNA replicated and then transformed into fabric, are today at the center of an exhibition in Amsterdam, Grow, hosted at the Fashion for Good museum until 12 October.

In Pictures The Fashion for Good Museum in Amsterdam has launched a new year-long exhibition shining a spotlight on biomaterials.

The Grow Expo showcases a selection of innovations, designers and brands that are reimaging the materials used in the notoriously polluting fashion industry, from fruit skin fabric and mushroom ‘leather’ to spider-silk and algae dye.

The Amsterdam platform and museum Fashion for Good has a clear mission: to change the system of the fashion industry. Bringing new, more sustainable materials into circulation is one of the most important parts of their struggle. That is why, from July 2021, they are launching the GROW talent project of three months, where innovative materials are used to look at the future through sustainable (er) glasses.

Fashion for Good has started the talent project Grow, a three-month program that starts in July 2021, the organisation reports in a press release. The program focuses on innovative biomaterials to represent the future of sustainable fashion. The garments will be presented afterwards in an exhibition in the Fashion for Good museum in Amsterdam. The only thing that is missing are creatives who want to participate in the project.

As Bolton did, many museum curators are similarly dedicating space and time to exhibits directly focused on climate change. Mass MoCa featured an exhibit called How to Build a Landscape by artist Blane De St. Croix which ventured beyond traditional art forms such as painting – including his own research in the Arctic Circle and Gobi Desert, interviews of scientists on climate issues and three story experiential sculptures. And in Amsterdam, US-based studio Local Projects opened an interactive museum called Fashion for Good aimed directly at changing visitors’ buying habits and encouraging impactful behaviors.

#LookWhatIFoundInMyCloset! Earlier this month, Fashion for Good and ELLE made a joint plea: this Christmas, dive into your own closet, instead of the web shops, to find the perfect party look. Under the heading #LookWhatIFoundInMyCloset, we shared styling hacks that help you make old items feel like new again. And on Instagram Reels, like-minded people (sustainability supporters and experts) already shared which pearls they showed up from their wardrobe to wear in the coming holidays. Missed? We are not the worst; we also just share which outfits they presented here. Be inspired and take this sustainable mojo with you into the new year.

Last year, five young designers took part in the world’s largest design competition for sustainable fashion: the Redress Design Award, intended to change the fashion industry in a sustainable way, for example by using zero-waste techniques. The Redress exhibition can now be viewed online from the Fashion for Good Museum. A host takes you through the exhibition via a camera and tells you about sustainable fashion and innovations. An interactive session, in which you can ask questions. Afterwards you will receive tips by e-mail to make better and sustainable choices.

Together with the Fashion for Good institute , the platform for sustainable fashion in the Netherlands, we are joining forces this month to inspire you to take a deep dive into your own wardrobe, and therefore to go for sustainable next Christmas and New Year’s Eve. That wardrobe contains a lot more pearls than you might think. And we, in turn, think that you will feel extra festive about the Christmas dinner thanks to this green consideration.

Sustainable fashion, we told you about it before. And let it just be that the Fashion For Good museum focuses entirely on this. From December 16 (yes, that is a little further than next weekend) you can watch the innovative works of five young designers who competed in the world’s largest sustainable fashion design competition. To kick things off in style, you can attend a special webinar on Wednesday in which Susie Lau , also known as Style Bubble, talks to demi couture designer Ronald van der Kemp.. Don’t want to miss it. Get your ticket on time (for a small price) and be inspired by the people who set a good example for the fashion industry. Afterwards you can of course also view the exhibition, both physically and digitally. It just depends on what you prefer.

Do you miss meandering around a good museum on a slow afternoon, immersing yourself in a different world, and learning about something new? If that’s you, then you should check out the Fashion For Good experience, a sustainable fashion museum now offering virtual tours.

In Nederland is het Amsterdam Fashion for Good Experience museum officieel aangewezen als museum. Het interactieve museum richt zich voornamelijk op duurzame mode en is uiteindelijk opgenomen in het Museumregister. Hiermee laat het zien dat het voldoet aan dezelfde normen als andere grote musea in Nederland.

It has long been known that the fashion industry is polluting the planet through overproduction, harmful manufacturing processes and transportation emissions. Much remains to be done to make the fashion industry more sustainable , but fortunately more and more brands are taking a step in the right direction. From second-hand clothing to recycling old materials: fashion houses are trying to make sustainable shopping easier for consumers. Get started today with the greening of your wardrobe with the best sustainable fashion initiatives in 2020.

Goed wapenfeit: Fashion for Good is het eerste interactieve modemuseum ter wereld. In de Fashion for Good Experience, zoals de ervaring in het museum wordt genoemd, hoor, zie en voel je de verhalen achter kleding. Aan de hand van een T-shirt, reis je mee in het productieproces, krijg je te zien langs hoeveel handen het product gaat (gemiddeld zo’n 100!) en wat de ware kosten van het maken van een T-shirt nu eigenlijk zijn. Met behulp van een speciale armband kan je tijdens je tocht door het museum allerlei tips en tricks verzamelen die je verder helpen op je persoonlijke good fashion reis. Thuis kan je ze nog een keer rustig nalezen en om de zoveel tijd krijg je een check-in om te kijken hoe ver je bent.

De Fashion for Good experience, het Amsterdamse museum gespecialiseerd in duurzame mode, heropent vandaag voor het publiek met een nieuw thema. FashionUnited was aanwezig bij de perspresentatie waar het nieuwe thema voor de programmering, A Cut Above, gepresenteerd werd en de zes ontwerpers die de komende zes maanden centraal staan. Daarnaast lanceert Fashion for Good deze week digitale museumtours en worden er vijf nieuwe museumstukken toegevoegd aan de collectie van het museum.

Fashion For Good is a unique experience that addresses  fashion’s problems and the solutions for designers and consumers to participate in. Brands can collaborate with Fashion For Good to learn innovation solutions to the take-make-waste model and museum guests can pledge to take part in simple solutions to be more sustainable- one step at a a time. The end result is a two-way solution to some of fashion’s biggest problems. For those who can’t explore these pieces in person Fashion For Good is offering virtual tours of these innovative designers and other interactive activities that allow brands and consumers to become a part of the solution.

Hoe kun je - wedding wise - liever zijn voor het milieu? We vroegen het aan ontwerper Tess van Zalinge. Momenteel schittert haar tentoonstelling van upcyclede vintage bruidsjurken in Fashion for Good, die ze maakte met weddingplanner Lotte Grossman (samen staan ze ook wel bekend als "tesswithlotte").

Ha viaggiato in tutto il mondo, visitando anche luoghi pericolosi – fabbriche come il Rana Plaza in Bangladesh, per esempio, dove morirono più di mille persone – Ha fatto domande scomode e investigato temi scottanti, andando a fondo in questioni molto delicate. Ed è rimasta sconvolta di fronte al quello che ha scoperto. Lei è Dana Thomas, scrittrice di best seller del New York Times. Il suo ultimo libro? “Fashionopolis: il prezzo della moda veloce e il futuro dei vestiti” e l’ha presentato in questi giorni al Fashion for Good di Amsterdam, il primo museo della moda sostenibile al mondo.

De Fashion for Good Experience is een interactief modemuseum dat gebruikt maakt van de nieuwste technologieën. Het museum vertelt de verhalen achter de kleding die je draagt en laat je zien hoe je zelf actie kunt ondernemen en een positieve invloed kunt hebben op de mode-industrie. Het nieuwe thema REBORN duikt in de merken die zich richten op circulariteit, door biologisch afbreekbare materialen of gerecyclede kleding en schoenen te creëren en proberen het gebruik van nieuwe materialen zoveel beperkt te houden. Naast dit thema wordt een tijdelijke tentoonstelling van upcyclede vintage bruidsjurken getoond door ontwerper Tess van Zalinge en weddingplanner Lotte Grossman onder het merk "tesswithlotte".

“Fashion For Good” nurtures initiatives for the future of the fashion industry. Many exhibits from the fashion and apparel manufacturing industries that take into consideration the environment, society, and global economy are on display. Therefore, it is also known as “Ethical Fashion Museum”. Exhibitors include emerging companies that are attracting attention to sustainable fashion and innovations from global companies such as Adidas.

Fashion for Good lanceerde gisteren het nieuwe Good shop thema REBORN.

Het nieuwe thema bevat merken zoals FRANKIE Collective, die items van overproductie omzetten naar populaire streetwear, Silfir, formele unisex-kleding die blijvend gerepareerd of opnieuw geverfd kan worden om ze langer draagbaar en trendy te houden, en een capsulecollectie van Cradle-to-Cradle gecertificeerde kleding van C&A. Naast het thema wordt een tijdelijke tentoonstelling van upcyclede vintage bruidsjurken getoond door ontwerper Tess van Zalinge en weddingplanner Lotte Grossman onder het merk "tesswithlotte".

In June this year, Amsterdam’s Fashion for Good launched a new theme in their Good Shop: COLOUR, exploring the alternative methods to colouring textiles and footwear. The Good Shop is the concept store within the Experience – the world’s first interactive museum for sustainable fashion and innovation.

There will also be events, workshops and panel discussions accompanying the theme, dyeing, digital printing and more.

Green fashion has never been so hot a topic and the capital of the Netherlands is fast-proving why it should be every eco-fashionista’s next trip. But what is it that Amsterdam is doing that makes it stand out sustainably from the rest of the fashion capitals? Amira Arasteh looks at some key Dutch designers paving the way for slow fashion and why they think every step adds value to the journey.

Amsterdam is not only home to Denham the Jeanmaker, Kings of Indigo and Kingpins, which begins Wednesday at Westergasfabriek. The Dutch city is also a trailblazer in sustainability, leading by example with initiatives to increase the number of zero-emission vehicles on its roads, to establish a circular economy through new business models and to take actions that will make it “climate proof” by 2020.

Amsterdam is establishing itself as the global capital of the burgeoning sustainable fashion industry. I’ll be checking out how the city is inspiring this welcome trend over the next couple of days, as I meet the innovators changing an industry that is one of the worst polluters.

Los amantes de la moda, la innovación y la sustentabilidad no pueden dejar visitar el museo Fashion for Good Experience en Ámsterdam. En octubre de 2018, en la capital holandesa se inauguró el primer museo dedicado a la innovación de la moda sustentable.

Geef mij maar Amsterdaaaam! Onze hoofdstad… of je er nu woont, er regelmatig komt of er nog nooit bent geweest: het mooie Mokum zit barstensvol leuke en inspirerende plekken. Misschien zelfs zóveel dat je door de bomen het bos niet meer ziet.  Luxeprobleem, anyone? Een goede reden om onze favoriete to-do’s eens voor je op een rijtje te zetten.

Fashion for Good is the first of its kind. It’s a museum specifically showcasing sustainable fashion and a hub for educating yourself on the harmful impacts the industry creates. Whether you’re like me and are already well-versed in what the phrase ‘fashion for good’ can possibly mean or whether you’re completely new to it all and have spontaneously found yourself at the museum on a tourist trip, it’s now at the top of my recommendations list.

From pedal-powered vehicles to solar-panelled bike paths, the Dutch are known for their sustainable and innovative approach to the everyday, so it’s no surprise that the world’s first sustainable fashion museum has found its home in the capital city of Amsterdam.

The Dutch have done it again! Created an interactive gaming and shopping experience that teaches you about sustainable fashion at the same time.

The very first museum of sustainable fashion in the world opened its doors last week in Amsterdam – and has definitely been making a “Splash” ever since, just like the name of its main theme for the next three months. It’s called Fashion For Good and it stands for a unique experience that stimulates visitors to reflect, become aware and engage. We believe that not a single visitor will leave without being affected by what they have witnessed – and will definitely be inspired and moved to make a difference.

As of October 5th a new, truly unique experience has opened in Amsterdam. Designed to inspire, inform and equip, it’s the brainchild of Fashion for Good, the collective committed to seeing the fashion industry shift towards sustainability around the world.

Fashion For Good is an interactive museum that aims to teach visitors about innovations in the fashion and textiles industry, designed by US-based studio Local Projects.

Fashion for Good, the Dutch organization dedicated to circular fashion, has opened what it is billing as “the first interactive museum for sustainable fashion innovation.”

AMSTERDAM – The doors have opened on a new museum which informs and inspires end consumers about the latest thinking in sustainable fashion. The new Fashion for Good experience in Amsterdam is an immersive, interactive museum fitted with smart technology which aims to “change the hearts and minds of the visitors by telling stories behind the clothes [they] wear.”

The tech-driven museum experience presents a sustainable vision of the fashion industry that is designed to shift mindsets and buying habits. Visitors can take a ‘personalised digital journey with an RFID- bracelet’ and delve into the history of fashion, as well as discover more about how they can play a big part in accelerating it towards a sustainable future.

AMSTERDAM – The Fashion for Good Experience has opened its doors to the public as a new chapter begins for the Netherlands-based sustainable fashion hub.

Amsterdam -- Fashion for Good, het wereldwijde initiatief voor duurzame mode, heeft vandaag de deuren geopend van zijn museum in Amsterdam, Nederland. De ruimte is bedoeld om bezoekers te laten zien hoe kleding wordt gemaakt en hen te helpen innovaties te ontdekken die een duurzamere toekomst voor de mode vormgeven. FashionUnited bezocht het museum in de aanloop naar de opening en sprak met de organisatie over het initiatief.

Amsterdam kan een nieuw museum aan haar lijst toevoegen, en wel een museum over circulaire mode. Het Fashion for Good Experience is nu geopend, en focust zich volledig op duurzaamheid binnen de mode-industrie.

Weten waar je kleding vandaan komt is een trend die we steeds vaker zien. Alles mag sustainable of conscious zijn. Verschillende merken volgen en we worden ons steeds bewuster van waar onze kleding vandaan komt. Niet gek dus dat Fashion for Good met iets nieuws komt. Op 5 oktober wordt in Amsterdam namelijk de Fashion for Good Experience geopend: een museum dat stilstaat bij duurzame mode-innovatie. De impact die bezoekers van de Experience kunnen hebben op de mode-industrie staat hierbij centraal. In totaal zijn er meer dan vijftig interactieve exposities te bezoeken.

Fashion For Good launched as a global initiative last year to answer this pretty big question.

The non-profit based in Amsterdam not only supports ethical companies working in fashion’s supply chain but is also working on a series of exhibitions and events aimed at shifting consumer consciousness away from disposable fashion.

Fashion for Good™ is an organisation that enables the widespread adoption of good fashion practices with ‘The Five Goods’: Good Materials, Good Economy, Good Energy, Good Water and Good Lives. With their #GoodFashionResolution Instagram initiative they invited their global community to help collectively brainstorm ways to be more mindful about the clothes you buy, wear and throw away in 2018 – by making a #GoodFashionResolution and sharing it on your Instagram along with the campaign hashtag to spread the word.

The movement pushing for a sustainable fashion industry continues to gather momentum. That is thanks to leading advocates like Fashion for Good, an international initiative which promotes a collaborative, cross-sectoral approach, to delivering change. Fashion for Good does this via a variety of platforms, including its startup accelerator and Scaling programme.

Fashion for Good has announced it is set to host Long Live Denim!, an event that will enable brands to gather and discuss the progress made by the two-year long Alliance for Responsible Denim (ARD) project, which has recently passed its half way point.
