The winter edition of the green trade fair duo for eco fashion, Ethical Fashion Show and Greenshowroom, which began on January 17, witnessed participation of 178 international fashion labels. The three-day fashion programme includes fashion shows, presentations and panel discussions on various topics related to sustainability and fashion.

The Ethical Fashion Show Berlin features street and casual wear, while the Greenshowroom displays fashion accessories. Selected exhibitors from both the trade fairs will present design innovations that are focused on resource efficiency, slowness and recyclability.

“We look forward to another positive reception from the exhibiting labels and a fantastic range,” said Olaf Schmidt, vice president for textiles at Messe Frankfurt.

The fashion programme also offers visitors the opportunity to inform themselves about current market developments and enter into discussions with fashion and sustainability experts.

The twin trade fairs also include two fashion shows— Salonshow and Ethical Fashion on Stage. The Salonshow that will be held on the second day will witness participation of various brands including Biaggi, Blue Valley, Inti Ferreira, Johanna Riplinger, Lanius, Lanius X Kunert, Royal Blush and Somyso among others. Panel discussion on various topics including ‘Plastics in our water: The role of the textile industry’ and ‘Save the sea: the issue of textile shedding into water bodies’ will also be a part of the event.
