The global fashion industry has faced a reckoning in recent years as wearers awaken to the exploitation, waste and pollution created by the unsustainable pursuit of fashionability in the 21st century.
There are alternatives emerging and those at the leading edge will be showcased in the welcome return of Eco Fashion Week Australia (EFWA) on runways and exhibitions across Western Australia in 2022.
EFWA founder and designer Zuhal Kuvan-Mills said art shows and avant-garde design exhibitions will present the work of fashion artists and designers across the world and challenge conventional notions of fashionability.
A Closet of the Anthropocene, named for the current geological age in which human impacts have predominantly influenced climate and the environment, is the central theme for the third EFWA.
