Sustainable Fashion, Reimagined / How it works

Young talents from four European countries have created original fashion products with the support of experienced mentors. Each creation tells a story of conscious choices, responsible materials, and bold ideas for a fashion industry that respects both people and the planet. Through FashPass you will be able to vote for your favourite project in each country (4 votes per user). You’ll browse projects and find information about their production and level of sustainability.

A “Digital Product Passport” experience for each item

FashPass is designed to function as a Digital Product Passport (DPP) experience for every showcased apparel item—helping visitors understand what the product is made of, how it was created, and why key sustainability decisions were made. This approach is inspired by the European Parliament study “Digital product passport for the textile sector (DPP)” and aligns with the EU direction under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles.

More about FashPass

The FashPass application:

• Showcases sustainable fashion products designed by emerging creators across Europe.
• Lets you explore each product and discover the story behind it — including design decisions, materials, and sustainability choices.
• Includes a “Product Passport” profile for every item, presenting structured product information and key sustainability highlights in an accessible way (in the spirit of a DPP).
• Features a personal diary for every product, capturing the journey from concept to final item and highlighting environmental, social, and financial aspects — including the designer’s reflections and decision-making process.

Your Voice Matters — Vote in April 2026

From 14–28 April 2026, the public is invited to vote on the FashPass app for their favourite sustainable fashion products. Voting is quick, open to everyone, and completely free.

How does it work?

The ENTRE-FASHION Monitoring Tool:

• Supports graduates of the Green VETRINE course, as well as their mentors from local textile and clothing companies, throughout a structured journey of sustainable product co-creation.
• Allows participants to document their progress, respond to guided reflection questions, upload relevant materials, receive targeted mentor feedback, and prepare all the elements required for the final submission and public voting phase.
• Combines creativity, sustainability and real-world industry experience. Through a mentoring-based journey, learners transform an initial idea into a tangible, eco-conscious fashion item, while engaging with the realities of materials, production constraints, design decisions, and communication strategies.

Voting Period

During the first two weeks of April, a voting mechanism will be activated allowing the public to vote for their favorite sustainable fashion product.

Each country’s most voted projects will be declared “winners” and the chosen students will be invited to present their projects at the final VETRINE conference, to be held in Paris on June 4, 2026.

This event will spotlight outstanding sustainable fashion items and offer opportunities for learners to engage with professionals and peers from the industry.

The Vetrine Study is the first step in the Vetrine programme which will create a custom “capacity building programme” based on the information gathered through this research. 

This free to download study has four main sections:

1. 1. 1. Focus Groups report summary / We carried out focus groups with both VET learners and market-linked professionals in which both discussed where they saw gaps in current knowledge with regards to the wide topic of sustainability in the industry.
      2. Report on raw materials used during apparel production / The report on T&C raw materials classifies the fibres according to their natural plant or animal origin, or those man-made from natural or synthetic polymers. Although there are many harmful substances used in the growing and manufacturing processes, organic cotton production is growing by 25-30% per year
      3. Analysis of Vocational Education and Training (VET) Educational Protocols / many institutions offer T&C studies and can be found concentrated in areas where the T&C sector companies are established. This section analyzes enrolment and content trends.
      4. Analysis of T&C national markets and prospect of applying sustainability concepts / Six partner countries present diverse indicators that reflect their varying situations with regard to their T&C industry; learn the economic values and trends for each, in particular with regards to sustainability issues.
