Founded in Berlin in January 2015 by national industry experts, the Fashion Council Germany e. V. (FCG) acts as an advocacy group for fashion “designed in Germany.” Through all its initiatives, the FCG aims to further establish, support, and strengthen German fashion design as a cultural and economic asset on both national and international levels. A particular focus is placed on promoting emerging design talent. In addition to specialized training programs in the areas of sustainability, fashion technology, and community building, various events serve to foster dialogue and networking among industry experts and newcomers alike. Against this backdrop, the Fashion Council Germany forms a powerful lobby and continuously advocates for greater visibility, global relevance, and interdisciplinary collaborations for German fashion within the political, economic, and cultural spheres.

​

The Fashion Council Germany is the only national advocacy group of its kind with strong international partners at the political, social, and economic levels. We represent the interests of our members by advocating for them and the industry as a whole at the regional, national, and European levels. Our members actively utilize the Fashion Council Germany network to grow and exchange experiences.
