Feeric Hub becomes the launch pad for students around the world

We are glad to share with you the official SCHEDULE of the 15th edition of Feeric Fashion Week here: https://www.feeric.ro/ro/schedule

After 14 years in which Feeric Fashion Week / @feericfashionweek provided the catwalk of the world’s most creative emerging and established fashion designers in Sibiu, Transylvania, the festival takes a step forward towards increased sustainability in international fashion.

Fast-fashion has radically changed the face of this field and returning to education in a fair and sustainable way is the necessary step to keep standards in fashion. From the more than 200 universities contacted, within the FEERIC HUB project, more than 30 have responded favorably since the first edition, and Universities from Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Central Asia and North Africa will be present.

Also to encourage sustainability in the world of fashion, Feeric Fashion Week is the first fashion week in the world to join the #FurFree #FurFree initiative initiated by the Humane Society International / @hsiglobal. More than 1.7 million people have signed the petition submitted to the European Commission to challenge the ban on fur farms in Europe. World-renowned brands have joined this movement: Prada, Furla, Versace, Gucci, and more than 1500 in total. And the HOOLDRA / @hooldra brand, also launched at Feeric Fashion Week, joined this social initiative.

The festival opens with a welcome party, hosted by Landiana / @landianayolo , Vice President of Feeric Fashion Week, at Versailles by Buonavista, on Wednesday.
