Een nieuwe Europese prijs voor circulaire mode

The Fédération de la Fashion Circulaire (FMC) announces the launch of a new European award: the Circular Fashion Synergies Awards. This prize is more than just another award for projects in ‘sustainable fashion’. The aim is to reward collaborations that concretely accelerate the development of the circular economy within the textile industry.

In today’s fashion industry, with its major environmental and regulatory challenges, the transition to sustainable business models is a necessity. The importance of this new prize is the appreciation for solutions that have passed the experimental phase and are operational, profitable and deployable on a large scale. The FMC focuses on rewarding active players in the following areas: second-hand, repair, upcycling, eco-design and recycling.

According to Maxime Delavallée, president of the Fédération de la Mode Circulaire, “show [de Circular Fashion Synergies Awards] shows that the integration of circular solutions at the heart of large organizations is not only possible, but is already happening on a European scale.”

Registrations for this first edition are open until April 30. The submitted projects must arise from operational cooperation between complementary parties. They must be implemented after 2022, have already delivered observable results and be active on the European market.

Selected candidates can compete for two separate prizes:

• the Jury Prize, awarded by a panel of European executives and institutional representatives;
• the Audience Award, chosen by the sector community through a voting campaign on social media.

The awards ceremony will take place on June 4, 2026, at Sciences Po in Paris, during Circular Fashion Day.
