56 nations one vision
Earth’s Most Ambitious Fashion Body
The Commonwealth Fashion Council is a not-for-profit Commonwealth-accredited organisation that’s all about promoting and developing Commonwealth Fashion.
We’re passionate about advancing innovation, education, and sustainability across the 56 Commonwealth nations.
We’ve been busy with some exciting and thought-provoking programmes, such as – developing new and innovative fashion materials, working with global fashion education institutions to reimagine Commonwealth Fashion education, supporting the Commonwealth Fashion film industry through the ‘CFC Best Fashion Film Category’, showcasing Commonwealth Fashion designers worldwide through VIBE Commonwealth Fashion, and collaborating with Commonwealth governments to deliver innovation and circular Fashion missions to stimulate trade.
We believe that the Commonwealth Fashion Industries are a vital part of the global creative sector.
Fashion design is just one aspect of the Commonwealth Fashion Industries. At the CFC, we approach the sector with a holistic view and strive to guide our audience towards a more sustainable, insightful, and innovative future.
We also have an amazing time delivering all we do with our partners and see that global citizens are passionate about a more harmonious future for people and the planet. We’re confident that we can achieve this together!
