Young fair Wear designers (Winkel)

*****
Fair Wear Foundation is approached by young designers who are just starting their own fashion brand on a regular basis. These brands often want to work in a fair and sustainable way from the beginning onwards, and contact us for information. To guide them in this process, FWF is pilotting a Young Designer programme. Learning and best practice sharing are the focus of this programme, for which FWF designed the Young Designer Academy.

The following members are participating in the programme:

Monkee (DE) | a fashion and mountain equipment brand | July 2012
Rickfors&Rickfors (SE) - a fashion and baby wear brand | July 2012
Traced Good (NL) - a fashion brand specialised in silk scarves and leather bags | July 2012
Sena Eco Couture (Neves Studio) (NL) - a high fashion brand specialised in timeless women's wear | July 2012
Blysia Lingerie (UK) - a sustainable lingerie brand | November 2012
Underprotection (DK) - fashionable and sustainable underwear | December 2012
As part of the Young Designer Academy, FWF will organise seminars to work together with the participants on annual learning goals. During these seminars fair working conditions and other sustainability issues will be discussed. The goal of the Young Designer programme and Academy is to prepare small and start-up brands for the regular affiliate membership.

A special FWF Young Designer logo is developed for use by its participants, to make a clear distinction between different memberships. For a full overview of all FWF memberships, please see our about page
