The “Globally Connected: International Sustainable Fashion Design Exhibition” is an integral part of SUSFUTURE 2025, a global initiative focused on promoting sustainable fashion practices across the world. Organized in collaboration with the World Textile University Alliance and Global Sustainable Fashion Week, this exhibition brings together leading institutions, designers, and innovators from around the globe to celebrate the fusion of creativity and sustainability in the fashion industry.

​

This exhibition is built upon the principles of international cooperation and shared responsibility for our planet’s future. It highlights the power of cross-cultural collaboration and the collective drive towards a greener, more sustainable fashion ecosystem. Featuring participants from over twenty countries and regions, the exhibition serves as a platform where diverse cultural, historical, and design backgrounds converge to explore solutions to today’s most pressing environmental challenges.

​

Centered around sustainability, the works on display—ranging from garments and textiles to apparel and accessories—invite a deep reflection on the intersection of fashion, environmental impact, and social responsibility. The designs not only showcase innovative and forward-thinking aesthetics but also explore themes such as resource circulation, the revival of traditional crafts, and the development of circular fashion systems. This exhibition underscores the importance of sustainability as a guiding principle in the future of fashion.

​

Fashion is not just an expression of aesthetics; it is a powerful force for social and environmental change. As part of SUSFUTURE 2025, this exhibition aims to create a dynamic, inclusive platform for dialogue, fostering deeper integration of technology, culture, and sustainability. Through global cooperation, we strive to inspire a more responsible and innovative future for the fashion industry.

​

We extend our sincere gratitude to all our partners, contributors, and supporters for their commitment to this important cause. Together, we are building a sustainable and interconnected fashion future, and we invite you to be a part of this transformative journey.
