Building Circular Fashion Ecosystems Together

Future Fashion Fair connects people, businesses and communities, to keep textiles in use.

Our Work

What we do.

Making the System Clear

Ecosystems rely on many interconnected and evolving parts, each playing a vital role in helping the system function and thrive. No single organisation, project or space can create circularity on its own. It happens through collaboration, shared knowledge and visible connections between people, infrastructure and opportunity.

Industry & Network Building

We connect designers, repairers, retailers, manufacturers, recyclers and innovators who are shaping circular fashion. By building networks and creating opportunities for collaboration, we help businesses transition towards more circular models and discover new ways to work together.

Research, Mapping & Advisory

We work with councils, institutions and partners to understand local circular fashion ecosystems. Through mapping, research and programme delivery, we help identify opportunities, gaps and infrastructure needs that support long-term change.

Community & Public Engagement

We create spaces where people can engage in real, accessible ways. Through events, workshops, and education, we help communities learn new skills, share knowledge and raise awareness on the use of textiles and fashion.

Ecosystem

See the circular fashion system in action.

From repair shops to recycling facilities, from community groups to corporate partners, the ecosystem connects every actor in the circular fashion value chain. Explore how these connections create lasting change.

Remanufacturing gives existing garments and textiles a new life by disassembling, repairing, redesigning and rebuilding them into new, usable products. It preserves more of the original material and value than breaking textiles down completely.
Circular retailers help people access clothing in more sustainable ways. This can include selling responsibly made products, offering resale or rental, providing take-back schemes and connecting customers with repair and reuse services.
Extenders are the services that keep garments in use for longer. They include repair specialists, alteration services, dry cleaners, laundrettes, care providers and other businesses that maintain, restore or adapt clothing instead of replacing it.
Recyclers collect, sort and process textiles that can no longer be reused in their existing form. Fibres and materials are recovered and prepared for use in new textiles, products or other manufacturing processes.

Community

OUR NETWORK

Circular fashion already exists in cities, towns and neighbourhoods, but it often isn’t easy to find or connect with.


Our Community Directory and map bring together the people, places, and projects that keep fashion in use.


From repair specialists and second-hand sellers and community events, this is a growing picture of circular fashion in action.

Network

KEEP UP TO DATE

Future Fashion Fair is built through participation. Everyone has a role to play, whether that involves attending events, sharing skills, swapping clothes, or sewing on a button. Small actions, when connected, create lasting change.

TEXTILES

SUPPORT
