The program also includes talks, panel debates, workshops, and activities offering various perspectives on design, craft, and sustainability.
This Year's Theme: Class Divide
Access to power, resources, and influence is shaped behind invisible barriers and within exclusive networks. But beneath the surface, something new is beginning to grow. A generation challenging class divides, overconsumption, and outdated power structures. This year's festival moves in the space between inequality and rebellion – and between the world we have inherited and the one we wish to create.

About AFW CPH
At AFW CPH, we provide a platform for creativity and innovation within the fashion and textile industries. Our mission is to promote a new fashion order rooted in sustainability and social responsibility.
We collaborate with designers and changemakers who place upcycling, reuse, and rights at the core of their work and values. We also reject the concept of trends and the notion that certain styles are more fashionable than others – an idea that fuels a harmful throwaway culture.
For us, fashion is not just about clothes – it's about the environment, mental well-being, and human rights.
