Samtidig tager vi aktivt afstand fra trendkulturen og ideen om, at nogle stilarter er mere “moderne” end andre – en tankegang, der understøtter en skadelig brug-og-smid-væk-kultur.For os handler det ikke bare om tøj – det handler om miljø, mental trivsel og menneskerettigheder.English:Join Alternative Fashion Week CPH – August 21–22 at Union (Nørre Allé 7, 2200 København)Get ready for two exciting days of celebration, shows, and workshops as Alternative Fashion Week CPH 2026 opens its doors to shine a spotlight on designers and initiatives driving sustainable change and social responsibility in the fashion industry.Admission: FREE – Everyone is welcome, and no registration is required!Explore our Fashion Agora, where you'll meet a diverse group of designers working with sustainable practices and circular business models.Don't miss the signature Deconstructed Catwalk – a unique performance blending theatre with the traditional runway.
