International Circular Fashion Week Conference
International Circular Fashion Week Conference
Celebrating Heritage, Craft, and Circular Futures
The 2026 edition will place a special focus on cultural heritage, traditional craftsmanship, and upcycling, woven together through bold contemporary expression.
From folklore-inspired dress and ancestral techniques to modern design created from rescued and reimagined materials, we believe tradition and sustainability belong together. Across cultures, garments carry stories — stitched memories, identities, and knowledge passed from generation to generation.
These are traditions we cannot afford to lose.
This is your invitation to create
Bring your ideas.
Bring your skills.
Bring your stories.
We invite designers, makers, artists, storytellers, and creative practitioners to explore what happens when old-world craftsmanship meets new-world imagination.
Join us in celebrating the past, activating the present, and shaping a more meaningful future for fashion — together.
Because collaboration is at the heart of circular change.

Sing the Thread, Move the Memory – Ritual
Sing the Thread, Move the Memory is a hybrid theatre performance where music, fashion, and movement intertwine, honouring the shared act of knowledge-making across cultures.
Inspired by the timeless passing of wisdom from one generation to the next, the work unfolds as a living process. Real-time sewing, handcrafting, and vocal improvisation emerge in front of the audience, shaped by multiple languages, extended musical techniques, and embodied gesture.
The sound world is woven from ritual actions, layered textures, and sustained resonant drones, inviting the audience into a space of deep attention, memory, and transformation. Each action becomes both performance and practice — a reminder that making, mending, and remembering are acts of care.
