COSH! will participate in the Circular Sustainable Fashion Week event in Madrid, running from the 18th to the 29th of April. The national reference event for sustainable fashion includes two weeks of conferences, workshops and catwalks, where slow and ethical fashion brands will be at the forefront. It aims to demonstrate that another way of dressing is possible, with ethical and sustainable practices at its core.
As a European, Belgium-based platform, COSH! is known for its commitment to sustainable fashion and its work promoting conscious shopping. This edition of CSFW Madrid will be even more unique, as COSH! will participate in the event featuring five selected brands from its community.
The five brands from the COSH! community that will present their work during this year’s fashion shows will be: Ridges & Steam, De IONESCU, Infinit Denim, IAH Brand y Lamu. Their eco-design are a definitive tool towards circular economy and they focus on sustainability and low environmental impact.
To celebrate the recent merger with the Barcelona-based platform “Ethical Time” and its first steps within the Spanish sustainable market, COSH! will launch its first printed Conscious Shopping Guide for the Spanish market during the CSFW Madrid event. This guide helps consumers shop consciously, showcasing local sustainable shops in Madrid and other cities in Spain. In this guide, you will find stores and brands such as The Circular Project, Daniel Chong, Fukuroshiki, Elena de Frutos, Kambalache, Kainua and many more.
This is the first conscious shopping guide that COSH! has created for a Spanish city, with more to follow soon. Sustainable retailers that would like to be included in this guide can contact COSH!.
This collaboration between CSFW Madrid and COSH! was made possible thanks to the connections made in the sustainable fashion accelerator Fashion For Change, with the financial contribution of the COSME programme of the European Union to host Spanish designers onto COSH! and for Flanders Investment and Trade for our collaboration in the fair in Madrid.
“We are excited to participate in Madrid’s Circular Sustainable Fashion Week and to present some brands from our community,” said Niki de Schryver, founder of COSH!. “We strongly believe that promoting sustainable and circular fashion is essential to contributing to a more sustainable future for the fashion industry and the environment. We are grateful for the support of Flanders State of the art in this collaboration and look forward to sharing our proposals with the public at the event.”
Circular Sustainable Fashion Week 2023 will take place in Madrid from the 18th until the 29th of April and looks to be an exceptional edition full of circular fashion, diversity and environmental awareness. COSH! looks forward to presenting the selected five sustainable brands and its printed conscious shopping guide, contributing to highlighting sustainable fashion at this event.
