California Sustainable Fashion Week (CSFW) California’s mission is to provide sustainable information, resources, and host events for California and its broader communities to understand how we can wear, appreciate, and work in fashion with minimal planetary impact.

California Sustainable Fashion Week Spring 2026: A Catalyst for Eco-Chic
What is California Sustainable Fashion Week? California Sustainable Fashion Week (CSFW) is a groundbreaking, statewide event dedicated to revolutionizing the fashion industry through eco-conscious innovation, creativity, and style. Founded by the visionary Exotic Fashion brand—a leader in fashion media, including Exotic Fashion Magazine and Exotic Fashion TV—CSFW serves as a dynamic platform and voice for sustainable designers, buyers, writers, scientists, advocates, professionals, eco-enthusiasts, and anyone passionate about ethical fashion. Its core mission is to provide accessible information, resources, and immersive experiences that empower California and global communities to embrace fashion with minimal environmental impact. By highlighting recycled, repurposed, renewable, and eco-friendly materials and practices, CSFW addresses the fashion industry's challenges like overconsumption, waste, and climate change, fostering a shift toward circular, low-impact design that aligns with California's progressive policies on clean energy, resource conservation, and corporate accountability.
Stella McCartney is a designer, businesswoman, and environmental activist, but she prioritizes fashion above all. “It’s the foundation,” she explains. “To spark the conversation I want, I need to create a product you’ll want to buy with your hard-earned money. If the product fails, there’s no dialogue. Without a thriving business, I’m just an environmentalist and Paul McCartney’s daughter—a story that fizzles out fast. No one keeps coming back for that.”
Cali Fashion Week: The Sustainable Fashion Initiative of LAAMT (DBA of Los Angeles Academy of Media & Technology – EIN: 20-8792027) is a dynamic nonprofit dedicated to reimagining fashion through the lens of sustainability, media, and technology.

OverviewFarm Rio, a Brazilian women's clothing and lifestyle brand founded in 1997, is known for its vibrant, nature-inspired prints and has increasingly positioned itself as a sustainability-focused company. As part of Grupo Soma, it publishes annual sustainability reports aligned with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards and became a Certified B Corporation in 2023, scoring 85.1 out of 200 on the B Impact Assessment (exceeding the 80-point threshold for certification). This certification evaluates performance across governance, workers, community, environment, and customers, signaling a commitment to balancing profit with positive socio-environmental impact. However, independent ratings like Good On You give it an overall "It's a Start" score, highlighting progress in some areas but gaps in others, such as overproduction and supply chain transparency. Overall, Farm Rio's products show moderate sustainability—better than fast fashion but not yet a leader in the industry.
