RUNWAY SHOWS | EDUCATION | POP UP SHOPS | MIXERS

Green is now more than just a color for the fashion industry!

Eco Fashion Week is an annual event produced by FABRIC during Earth Week. It is a week-long event created to educate the public on sustainable fashion and to celebrate, recognize, and support sustainable fashion brands. Every year, EcoFW includes sustainable fashion shows, pop-up shops, educational panel discussions, and highlights sustainable events that take place all over Arizona and at FABRIC.

All proceeds go to FABRIC Tempe, an Arizona non-profit organization that supports apparel entrepreneurs with sustainable resources.

WHO MADE MY CLOTHES?

EcoFW was inspired by the efforts of Fashion Revolution and every year we encourage our community to join the revolution and ask #WhoMadeMyClothes.

Fashion Revolution was founded in the wake of the Rana Plaza disaster in 2013. Since then, they have grown to become the world’s largest fashion activism movement, mobilizing citizens, brands and policymakers through research, education, and advocacy.
