Upcoming Trade Shows Paris, France for Clothing

We can’t speak about the Parisian economy without mentioning the thriving clothing industry in Paris, whose accomplishments and daring initiatives create reverberations across the world. To that end, it’s worth highlighting how Paris has undergone a not insignificant shift towards sustainability. The Paris Good Fashion initiative, launched in January 2019 and championed by the city itself, sets the ambitious goal of making Paris the global capital of sustainable fashion by 2024. The initiative’s multifaceted approach targets a circular economy and enhanced sourcing and traceability. That naturally includes sustainable practices in distribution, energy, and communication. France's leading fashion conglomerates are aligning their strategies with sustainability goals by exploring ecological materials and responsible sourcing. This movement ripples through the industry as a whole. FashionTech startups born in the Paris Region are at the forefront of this sustainable revolution. Pioneers like INDUO delve into smart textiles, while Tekyn focuses on an on-demand manufacturing platform. Emerging companies like NONA, Faume and Uptrade, alongside sustainable brands such as The Ethiquette and Les Recuperables, are weaving an eco-friendly narrative. Incubators and accelerators play a pivotal role in nurturing sustainable innovation. Look Forward, affiliated with online fashion retailer Showroomprive.com, annually hosts international startups transforming the fashion, retail and beauty industries as they emphasize responsible practices. Foundry, powered by IFA Paris, supports startups in FashionTech, innovation, sustainability, and future craft. La Maison des Startups LVMH, located in Station F, collaborates with over 50 startups yearly, fostering synergies with LVMH's esteemed Maisons.

La Caserne, Europe's largest sustainable fashion hub created in 2021, encompasses an accelerator, coworking space, workshops, a store, a restaurant and a nightclub, proving that sustainability and style can go hand in hand.
