Are you a creator in the fashion and textile industry?


Ever wanted to expand your network, improve your circular practices, and get some mentorship from inspiring industry pros?

If that sounds like you, check out the Textile Movement Talent “OPEN CALL!” It’s a great opportunity for young, emerging talents in fashion and textiles who want to boost their circular and entrepreneurial skills.

We’re teaming up with various companies and organizations in the textile field to provide support that we believe will really help you on your journey.

If you’re accepted, you’ll get to tap into three support tracks:
#1 Circular Business Models
#2 Mentorship/Coaching
#3 Workspace/3D Lab

To make the most of these sessions, we recommend that you have some flexibility to attend in-person workshops during daytime, on weekdays, in the Västra Götaland region (approximately 8 hours per month). This schedule is designed to be manageable alongside work or studies.

  • Introduction to sorting and reuse of secondhand textiles
  • Re-design workshop with Doctor in Redesign Anna Lidström
