What we do

Paris Good Fashion aims to accelerate the sustainable transition of the fashion industry. Our actions are focused on the development of practical and shared solutions through collective intelligence. Our ambition is to raise the position of Paris in the world as a major capital of sustainable fashion by 2024, the year of the next Olympic Games. On a daily basis, we organize working groups to co-construct, on a voluntary basis, concrete action plans on specific topics.
