Your presentation could be a highlight of the 8th#GSFW!

You should focus on innovative, sustainable, and circular design, materials and fabrics, and production as the main theme of the 8th #GSFW:

#innovation #creativeness #sustainablefashion #circularfashion.

In addition to the above criteria the products/collections to be presented must match the following ones too:

1. DESIGN should contribute to reducing the negative impact on ecosystems and prolonging the life cycle of clothing/products (recycling, zero waste cutting etc.)
2. CHOICE OF MATERIALS / FABRICS / DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGIES: We prefer materials of natural, artificial and synthetic origin as long as they are certified by internationally recognised institutes and are committed to a virtuous path towards sustainability. We favour products manufactured according to the criteria of eco-design, the circular economy and the recycling of materials at the end of their life.
3. PRODUCTION should be made:

• Eco-friendly,
• Fair, Ethical
• Handcrafted manufacturing, preserving the national heritage has a special added value to the products but during the 8th#GSFW we would like to give preference to applicants who can demonstrate and present their innovative solutions (how to reduce waste, water, air pollution, CO2 emission or any negative environmental impact).
