State of Fashion is a fashion platform where alternatives to the current fashion system are given a stage. Explicitly and honestly we connect fashion to the social issues and challenges of our time. The central question is: how can fashion and textiles contribute to a better world?
In our activities, we bring together visionary ideas from home and abroad and, together with our audience, explore alternatives to the dominant industrial fashion system that causes pollution and inequality worldwide. Every two years, we organise a large-scale public event: the State of Fashion Biennale, with an ever-changing team of curators who explore the issues in their own unique way and engage the public.
Arnhem
Arnhem
Taking place in Arnhem, State of Fashion builds on the Arnhem Mode Biennale (2005 – 2013) and is embedded in Arnhem’s rich fashion infrastructure. The organisation plays a critical, inquisitive and creative role of significance within the region, across the Netherlands and at an international level in addressing the major sustainability challenges facing the fashion and textile industry. There is direct access to (inter)national experiment and research, knowledge and education, design, and the development of materials and raw resources. In addition, connections are sought between fashion, societal issues and the public. Arnhem’s illustrious fashion history, the city’s sustainable ambitions and its verdant surroundings lend support to this power of imagination and the value of creating.
State of Fashion is structurally supported by the municipality of Arnhem. Since 2021, State of Fashion has been included in the national basic infrastructure (BIS) of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.
