The Fashion Council Germany e. V. is the lobby for fashion "designed in Germany". Founded in Berlin in January 2015 on the initiative of national industry experts, the FCG promotes German fashion design as a cultural and economic asset and promotes young designers from Germany. In addition to promoting young talent, special attention is also paid to education, sustainability and fashion technology as well as interdisciplinary dialogue and networking. Against this background, the Council does essential lobbying work in politics, business and culture, strives for visibility and emphasizes the global relevance of fashion design and Germany as a fashion location at home and abroad.
