As part of the new European Bauhaus movement, the Fashion Council Germany is organizing the conference “The New European Bauhaus - Workshop of the Future” for the first time. Together with renowned voices from the fields of fashion, design, art, culture, education, digitalization and technology, we will look for new solutions to make the fashion industry sustainable, inclusive and thus more desirable.

The kick-off event of the conference series will take place on July 6, 2021 in cooperation with Frankfurt Fashion Week and will be freely accessible to everyone digitally with prior registration.

The opening speech of the conference “The New European Bauhaus - Workshop of the Future” will be given by EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Our event series is inspired by Ursula von der Leyen's initiative “The New European Bauhaus”, which she first presented in her “State of the Union” speech in September 2020. Based on the historical model, the “New European Bauhaus” movement aims to promote interdisciplinary and co-creative collaboration and thus generate ideas and projects for a sustainable Europe in line with the Green Deal. The forward-looking projects become the interface between art, culture, social inclusion, science, digitalization and technology.

Our “The New European Bauhaus - Workshop of the Future” conference will apply this movement to the fashion industry for the first time.

"We need creative ideas, to make sustainable fashion more attractive. The combination of resource-saving technologies and innovative design creates a new desirability - fashion needs to touch us emotionally and be fun again." Christiane Arp, board member and founding member of the Fashion Council Germany.

Pre-registration is possible via neweuropeanbauhaus.fashion.

We would be delighted if you'd follow our instagram @neweuropeanbauhaus.fashion.

The list of speakers, as well as the topics, will be announced beginning of June with the start of the official regestration.

We can't wait to apply the new European Bauhaus movement to fashion and design in Germany and across the EU and to prepare the fashion industry for a sustainable, inclusive, and attractive future.

Re-build by taking responsibility.

Re-design by using sustainable solutions.

Re-think your actions now.

Re-imagine your future is today.

Be part of something beautiful, together with us!
