S4Fashion is empowering small medium-sized enterprises to introduce new sustainable and circular economy products, services, methods, tools, and business models for the fashion industry. We aim to identify and amplify the best and up to date practices for a greener fashion sector. The project, throughout its three-year life cycle, will produce new evidence-based knowledge on sustainability and circular economy for the fashion industry and share its findings with the whole ecosystem of the European fashion community. S4Fashion is cofounded by the COSME program of the European Union. S4Fashion supports, connects, and empowers 25 transnational partnerships to work collaboratively for the creation of sustainability solutions for the fashion industry. The 25 pilot projects benefit from a bespoke program including mentoring, networking opportunities, and financial support. Beyond the pilot projects, a much larger number of organizations is supported through a parallel program of workshops and training activities building a system of transnational sustainable fashion laboratories for the testing and measurement of new methodologies. Our vision is to influence the European fashion community to change perspectives and redefine the fashion sector responding to the needs of our time for ethical, inclusive, and responsible production and consumption. We want to create a space where the whole European fashion ecosystem can innovate, collaborate and share knowledge during and beyond the lifecycle of the project.

🌍The Next4Fashion conference was absolutely fantastic! It seamlessly brought together experts from various fields such as fashion, policymaking, sustainability, business, academia, culture, innovation, emerging sustainable and circular fashion enterprises, along with creative hubs. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and dive into the latest trends and innovations shaping the future of fashion. 🌼 S4Fashion, Fashion For Change EU, CirCoAX by CircularInnoBooster and Small But Perfect(Fashion Revolution Greece) coordinators provided an overview of their projects and delved into discussions about their most valuable outcomes, top policy recommendations, and plans for leveraging the knowledge gained over the three-year life cycle of their projects. 🌱 Key themes echoed by all coordinators included the significance of fostering a sense of community, the crucial role of mentoring and capacity building (particularly in terms of business models and attracting investors), the contribution of local hubs in facilitating peer interactions and potential partnerships, and the necessity for a transnational network equipped with online resources like toolkits and methodologies, as well as a pool of experts to connect all stakeholders and monitor impact. 🍃 The conference shifted its focus to Europe's Sustainable Fashion Support programs with speakers, including Ilona Lelonek-Husting (DG GROW), Alexandros Nousias (Envolve Entrepreneurship), Arthur ten Wolde (Ecopreneur.eu - The European Sustainable Business Federation), and Fredrik Timour (Fashion Innovation Center), shared insights on the successes and lessons learned from past initiatives. They also discussed how these lessons could be seamlessly integrated into future support structures. 🍀 The third session featured presentations from the three S4Fashion pilot initiatives (Zoe Romano for Circular Clotho, Stefanie Barz for LoopLook, Ilaria Sposito and Livia Quaresmini for JUNKLE.IT ), shedding light on the incorporation of sustainability and circular principles into innovation policies, sectors, and funding schemes within the fashion industry. The speakers provided a glimpse into their entrepreneurial journey, showcasing their evolution throughout the S4Fashion project. 🌿 The final session, proved to be a captivating discussion, extending beyond the initially anticipated duration. Eleni Stavrou, Member of the European Parliament, commenced with a speech underscoring the importance of incorporating human rights considerations into sustainable and circular fashion endeavors. The Guided Policy Dialogue, featuring Cecilia Nilsson-Bottka, Lisa Lang (EIT Climate KIC), and Leida Rijnhout (World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), provided informative insights into existing green policies, identified gaps, and proposed solutions in the process. We look forward to what comes next💚Thank you all for joining!
