Vegan Fashion Week is being held in the US, October 10 to 12, 2022. Vegan Fashion Week has been a leader in the fashion industry by bringing together both emerging and established designers to showcase innovations in animal-free fashion.

Vegan Fashion Week is a celebration of the innovation, sophistication and joy behind contemporary vegan fashion. Vegan fashion has taken a step into the creativity and playfulness otherwise reserved for mainstream fashion.The first-ever Vegan Fashion Week event was held in February 2019.

Brands and designers are pushing fashion forward with everything from leather made from food waste to down made from flowers. Animal-derived materials like leather, wool, fur, feathers, and exotic skins are all major contributors to the climate catastrophe. Cow leather has nearly ten times the negative environmental impact of non-animal leathers. Sheep dip—the toxic liquid used in the wool industry to rid sheep of parasites—contaminates waterways, damaging ecosystems and killing wildlife.There was a time when vegan fashion was an oxymoron. Fashion week was a place where dead-animal skins were paraded and showed off, celebrated and revered. Today, brands and designers no longer use fur. Over 300 brands all over the world have refused to use mohair and angora in their collections.
