Founded by Industry Veteran Jordana Guimaraes and Christopher Hunt, Fashion Forward Week stands at the exhilarating intersection of storytelling, innovation, and inclusivity in the world of style. This event will draw the world’s leading designers, visionary creators, industry influencers, and passionate enthusiasts to celebrate the ever-evolving language of fashion. More than just a showcase, Fashion Forward Week is a living, breathing platform for dialogue, inspiration, and transformation within the global fashion community.

Mission:

To champion new & known voices, foster meaningful conversations, and push the
boundaries of fashion design while promoting storytelling, sustainability, diversity, and innovation within fashion.

Key Highlights:

  • Global Designer Showcases: Renowned and emerging designers from across
    continents unveil their latest collections, marrying tradition with modernity and
    challenging conventions with bold, original statements.
  • Inclusive LIVE Model Installations: Fashion Forward Week is an industry leader in championing diversity. Models of all backgrounds, abilities, sizes, and identities are celebrated, offering a truer reflection of the world we live in. Through a showcase rather than a runway, guests will immerse themselves into the lifestyle & messaging of the brand.
  • Green Carpet & Stage Talks: Each season, the event dedicates special segments to sustainable materials, ethical production, and the future of eco-friendly fashion. A Green Carpet will take place where the industry will share conversations around the topic of “sustainability” and fireside chats on stage will empower attendees to make responsible style decisions, through the “Supply Chain” story of each participating brand.

  • Interactive Innovation Installations: Attendees are invited to immerse themselves in cutting-edge installations, where augmented reality, wearable tech, and tactile artistry blend to create unforgettable experiences.
  • Private Social Network – Launch: Fashion Forward Week partnered with Digital Nation’s Founder Candice Pascoal, to launch a “Private Social Network” where all of the conversations that take place at FFW continue throughout the year once the event is over, not leaving a gap between the events.
