In 2017, a group of seven European Fashion organizations came together to create a project that defended, promoted and developed independent Fashion in Europe.
United Fashion is carried out by a cluster of European fashion support associations MAD Brussels (BE), Flanders DC (BE), ModaLisboa (PT), Baltic Fashion Federation (LV), Maison de Mode (FR), Fashion Weekend Skopje (MK) and Fashion Council Germany (DE). We aim at enhancing the culture of fashion designers across Europe to be more business minded and at enhancing their competitiveness internationally, without limiting their creativity. United Fashion received the support from the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
Through a number of international network events and transdisciplinary training workshops, over a four-year period, more than 150 fashion designers will have the opportunity to participate by showcasing their collection, getting to know and understanding several European markets, developing new skills in fashion tech, sustainable fashion, production, craftsmanship, and business models.
As the host country, Fashion Weekend Skopje will invite selected labels from Belgium, France, Portugal, Latvia and Germany to Skopje in March 2019 to familiarize them with the South East Europe market.
Additionally, United Fashion has also 16 associate partners: ACME — Asociación Creadores de Moda de España (ES), Austrian Fashion Association (AT), Centre for Fashion Enterprise – University of Arts London (UK), Council of Irish Fashion Designers (IR), Cyprus Fashion Designers Association (CY), Design Terminal (HU), Dutch Fashion Foundation (NL), Europeana Fashion International Association, Fédération française du Prêt à Porter féminin (FR), Festival International de Mode et de Photographie d’Hyères (FR), Future in Fashion Foundation (PL), NFLH — Fashion Hungary (HU), Norwegian Fashion Institute (NO), Sourcebook (DE), Squat (SI), and Wallonie-Bruxelles Design Mode (BE)
