Fashion Redressed is a new digital film series that depicts inspirational stories & ideas.

The Global Fashion Agenda (GFA), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainability in the fashion industry, has launched a new web film series called Fashion Redressed. The compelling series, produced by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions, aims to motivate the industry to take action to alter the way we manufacture and consume fashion.

We express ourselves through our clothing every day. Fashion is fundamental to how we display ourselves to the outside world, encompassing cultures, personalities, traditions, and values. However, our consumption of fashion and clothes is driving our earth and communities to their breaking points. Fashion pioneers and trendsetters are tackling this challenge front-on with game-changing concepts. At the heart of this is the question: how can we continue to express ourselves via fashion while not harming the environment?

Fashion Redressed is a collection of documentaries that exhibit organizations from the fashion and textile industries, all with the goal of finding answers. The show was launched on BBC.com. microsite. The series highlights global technologies that are shaping new fashion seasons, with a mix of stories depicting tailor-made solutions for us and our planet.

Participants include eBay, Elk, The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Vestiaire Collective, Spinnova, Lenzing, Faherty, FarFetch, Waste2Wear, Colorifix, and the Forest Stewardship Council. Each film focuses on a unique solution that can help both humans and the environment. From the scientist in Helsinki who draws inspiration from silk-spinning spiders to the duo in Cambridge who delves into the genetic makeup of color, to the pre-loved clothes being brought to life on a global platform from Paris and the importance of cultural appreciation in Arizona, fashion attracts the most creative and innovative minds. This series captures the vibrancy and inventiveness of the fashion industry by highlighting those who are weaving change into the fibers of fashion as well as those who are working to find the stylish side of a more sustainable sector.

The series was announced ahead of GFA's historic event, Global Fashion Summit: Boston Edition, on September 27. The prestigious forum will bring together key fashion players for agenda-setting discussions and fruitful interactions on the most pressing environmental and social challenges. The forum's goal is to inspire the industry, create pre-competitive collaboration, and accelerate the implementation of ideas in order to turn fashion dreams into deeds.

Suit Shorts are surely the 'IN THING'

If one piece of clothing defined men's tailoring for SS24, it was the suit short, a sleek addition to the bottoms category that brought a modern update to formalwear. While some men may regard a shift to short suits as fairly brazen, the piece has been universally welcomed by designers, with several continuing to endorse the 'daring' clothing in their male lines season after season.

Appearance is less contentious in womenswear, with women generally accepting the summer-friendly style.

Short suits, contrary to the traditional blazer and pant combo, allow for more breathability and provide a cooler option for hot days. They have also become more genderless over time, appearing in both menswear and womenswear ensembles - albeit the latter considers the item to be more of a mainstay. Their rebirth in menswear, on the other hand, has been mostly driven by the increasing 'preppy' trend, which has been widely adopted by companies such as Louis Vuitton and Dsquared2, where collegiate-inspired clothing has been thrust to the forefront.

BFW2023 is all about Fashion Shows,Pop-ups & Sustainability

The Berlin Fashion Week once again displays itself as a one-of-a-kind event that reflects the city's creative vitality and variety.

Berlin is well-known for its subcultural movements, trends, and forward-thinking fashion. Fashion Week reflects these changes by emphasising essential issues such as sustainability, inclusion, and innovation. Berlin's prominence as a city and a fashion metropolis set new norms in an industry that is nevertheless heavily affected by tradition. As a result, Berlin Fashion Week distinguishes itself from the fashion weeks in Milan, Paris, London, and New York, forging a route that is not only progressive but also revolutionary. Berlin Fashion Week promotes interchange, inspiration, and visibility within the industry through the actual assembly of designers, reporters, buyers, and creatives - not only for established but also for up-and-coming industry leaders.

Berlin Fashion Week also provides networking possibilities as well as a broad content schedule on the latest fashion, business, sustainability, technology, and beauty trends. The W.E4.FASHION DAY brings together four designers to present their latest collections at the Verti Music Hall: Rebekka Ruetz, Danny Reinke, Marcel Ostertag, and Kilian Kerner. The Fashion Council Germany e.V.'s Studio2Retail project, which is also being implemented in collaboration with the Berlin Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy, and Industry, brings the Fashion Week atmosphere to the entire city: fashion shows, events, and pop-ups at various locations take visitors all over the city's places to be.

Fashion Week Berlin in July 2023 aims to be a one-of-a-kind event that displays Berlin's creative power and innovative capacity. With an emphasis on diversity, sustainability, and innovation, Berlin is presenting itself as a fashion industry leader and invites designers, buyers, press, and creatives from around the world to participate in this remarkable event.
