Learn more about each of the week’s events and reserve your tickets HERE.
AZ Eco Fashion Week is an effort to shed light on the unsustainable practices of the modern apparel manufacturing industry and highlight the sustainable solutions. We hope to educate and engage Arizona designers, businesses, academics, youth, students, experts, and leaders in the community to explore a new frontier in the business of ECO Fashion.
With the guidance and inspiration ofFashion Revolution, AZ Eco Fashion Week encourages Arizonans to join in on the conversation at #azecofw and ask #WhoMadeMyClothes on social media during the event. This international effort raises awareness to pressing issues in sustainable fashion and brings international attention to the solution thatFABRIC offers with local, small batch manufacturing and design resources. By utilizing the design and manufacturing resources offered by AZ Fashion Source, the no-minimum, zero waste apparel manufacturer at FABRIC, emerging designers can produce unique niche products locally and sustainably, pay a fair living wage to the highly skilled workers making their products, and ditch the unsustainable, unregulated methods often found in off-shore manufacturing.
This event is an initiative supported by the entities, volunteers, designers, and community who call F.A.B.R.I.C. home and who believe in the mission of AZ Apparel Foundation, the non-profit supporting its resources. The event is a community collaboration by people who truly care about sustainability and about the future of the fashion industry. 100% of proceeds generated by this event go to the non-profit AZ Apparel Foundation to further it’s mission to provide Arizona’s emerging designers and brands with innovative, small batch manufacturing and strategic business resources, so they can build sustainable fashion businesses locally.
