SFC [FASHION X]

The upcoming edition of SFC [FASHION X] STOCKHOLM is scheduled from Tuesday, November 7th, to Saturday, November 11th, 2023. 

The event was born as a way to challenge the traditional fashion week model, stepping away from the emphasis on seasons and offering a platform that embraces the new era of fashion, providing a space for designers and creatives to push boundaries and experiment with new ideas and business models. 

THE FIRST EDITION

The first edition of SFC [FASHION X] STOCKHOLM took place during a unique two-day event on November 9th and 10th 2022. 

The event kicked off with the launch of Fashion Transformation, a new report series highlighting the transformation of the fashion industry, followed by a program highlighting the new era of Swedish fashion, including presentations by SFC [INCUBATOR] talent HODAKOVA and Jade Cropper, an exhibition by AVAVAV's Creative Director Beate Karlsson, and Rave Review's first runway show in Stockholm. 

 

“Sweden's combination of pace and innovation, focus on sustainability, and creative height is unique. By using all our strengths, Swedish fashion has the opportunity to take a leading role in the fashion industry of the future. [FASHION X] Stockholm is the first step in introducing the new era of Swedish fashion and boosting Sweden's position on the international fashion scene” - Jennie Rosén, CEO, Swedish Fashion Council
