PARIS — The world’s leading fashion cities are joining forces in an effort to move sustainability beyond local initiatives and toward coordinated global action.
Launched on Thursday by Paris Good Fashion during its second annual Midsummer Camp conference, the new “Fashion Cities Coalition” brings together Copenhagen; Cotonou, Benin; Dubai; London; Milan; New York, and Singapore alongside Paris to share research, develop common priorities and accelerate the industry’s transition through evidence-based collaboration.
These will be the “first wave” of cities, with rolling meetings in each location through February 2028. Other cities are expected to join in the second wave.
Rather than another industry pledge, organizers positioned the coalition as a working platform where fashion capitals can test ideas, share data and develop practical solutions together.
“It’s a strong and important advancement,” said Paris Good Fashion cofounder and director Isabelle Lefort, noting that it has been in the works for nearly a year.
