About us
Chicfashic is a unique platform where education, community and shopping meet to promote awareness and social change in fashion consumption, and to provide an alternative shopping tool to fast fashion.
ISSUE
Textiles are fundamental to our society, providing us with clothing, shoes, carpets, curtains, furniture, etc. for homes, offices and public buildings.
The textiles industry employs millions of people worldwide, making it among the largest in the world and an important part of Europe’s manufacturing industry. However, textile production and consumption cause significant environmental, climate and social impacts by using resources, water, land and chemicals and emitting greenhouse gases and pollutants.Not only is it harmful to our environment, the production of clothing often relies on exploitative and dangerous practices.
OUR VISION
A fashion community that:
- values connection over consumption
- reduces waste and environmental impact
- shares knowledge and skills
- nurtures trust, creativity, and purpose throughout every step of the fashion experience
OUR AIMS
We work to:
- raise awareness about the environmental and social impacts of traditional fashion systems
- promote positive behavioral change through education and community action
- strengthen circular fashion practices
- build community spaces where people share ideas, skills, and style sustainably
HOW WE WORK TO ACHIEVE CHANGE
Chicfashic’s educational program ranges from practical workshops to lecturers. The practical workshops deliver quick and easy sewing skills that will save and extend the life of our clothes. Lectures provide insights into the entire supply chain, from raw materials to finished products addressing critical issues, such as working conditions, pesticides usage, water consumption, deforestation and waste reduction.
Alongside we teach people the inner value of the different types of textile fibres and the importance of disposing clothing properly, saving them from becoming general waste and thus incineration and making them available for recycling.
