WITH THE CMzF WE SUPPORT FORWARD-THINKING CREATIVES WORLDWIDE THROUGH FUNDING, MENTORSHIP & PR.
It is 2021 and the fashion industry still plays a major role in the use of natural resources, air & water pollution, and is most often created within a framework of human exploitation. Find fashion facts here. Now more than ever it is important to generate awareness around these issues with the tools each and every one of us has available. We believe that everyone has a voice, and everyone is a creator.
EVERYONE HAS A VOICE, EVERYONE IS A CREATOR.
Your vision for a fair system has an impact, no matter what creative background you are coming from. You can shape the future of a faulty fashion industry and help audiences to self-reflect on their pre-held beliefs and consumption habits with just a simple idea. Whether as a guerrilla campaign, a photoshoot, video, performance art, a game, a guide, an installation… get creative(!) we are here to help you with your project.
CMzF IS A COMMITTED AND PASSIONATE TEAM. WE ARE EXCITED TO
SUPPORT CREATIVES AND THEIR SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS.
