e are a global platform for
innovation, made possible
through collaboration and
community. With an open invitation
to the entire apparel industry, Fashion
for Good convenes brands, producers,
retailers, suppliers, non-proft
organisations, innovators and funders

At the core of Fashion for Good is our
innovation platform. Through our Fashion
for Good-Plug and Play Accelerator,
we work with one of the world’s
largest technology accelerators to give
promising startup innovators the funding
and expertise they need in order to
grow. Our Scaling Programme supports
innovations that have passed the proof-
of-concept phase, with a dedicated team
that ofers bespoke support and access to
expertise, customers and capital. Finally,
our Good Fashion Fund (in development)
will catalyse access to fnance where
this is required to shift at scale to more
sustainable production methods.
Additionally, Fashion for Good acts as a
convener for change. From its frst hub in
Amsterdam, it houses a Circular Apparel
Community co-working space, creates
open-source resources like its Good
Fashion Guide, and welcomes visitors
to join a collective movement to make
fashion a force for good.
Fashion for Good’s programmes are
supported by Philanthropic Partner C&A
Foundation and Corporate Partners C&A,
Galeries Lafayette Group and Kering.
Fashion for Good is the global initiative
that is here to make all fashion good.
Colorifx solves the
environmental problems
associated with the production
of pigments and their transfer
to fabrics and garments.
We do this using synthetic
biology, allowing engineered
microorganisms to produce the
pigments for us. Furthermore,
the microorganisms are
used to transfer and fx the
pigments directly to the
fabric, thereby improving
dye transfer efciency and
reducing water and energy
consumption accordingly. The
net efect is a beautifully dyed
fabric or garment but without
the environmental damage
associated with traditional dye
production and transfer.
