In February, we were honoured to join Fashion Revolution Poland Partners’ Club — becoming part of a global movement dedicated to transforming the fashion industry through transparency, ethics, and collective action. As part of this collaboration, we are also taking part in Fashion Revolution Week 2026 in Poland.
This year’s Fashion Revolution Week is centered around hope and community, highlighting the power of diverse voices coming together — from students and educators to innovators, activists, and businesses — all working toward a cleaner, fairer, and more compassionate fashion system.
We’re especially proud to co-host one of this year’s key events:
Where Are We Now? Market Opportunities for Bio-based Alternatives to Fur, Leather and Wool
April 23, 5pm-6pm CET (online)
A first-of-its-kind collaborative panel hosted by Fashion Revolution Polska and Vegan Fashion Repository, exploring the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of bio-based alternative materials — and what it will take to move beyond outdated perceptions of vegan fashion.
Bringing together material innovators, brands, designers, and advocates, the conversation will span those developing next-generation materials, those working with them in practice, and those championing empathy and sustainability across the industry. Together, we will unpack what is truly driving change — from technological innovation to shifting consumer values — across both the supply and demand sides.
