Fashion

We love fashion, but we also need a change. With the CMzF we support forward-thinking creatives worldwide through funding, mentorship and PR. This open call accepts creative and artistic project ideas of all disciplines that tackle sustainability and fashion.

It is 2021 and the fashion industry still plays a major role in the use of natural resources, air & water pollution, and is most often created within a framework of human exploitation. Now more than ever it is important to generate awareness around these issues with the tools each and every one of us has available.

Your vision for a fair system has an impact, no matter what creative background you are coming from. Whether as a guerrilla campaign, a photoshoot, video, performance art, a game, a guide, an installation… get creative(!), we are here to help you with your project.
