This guide is intended to offer inspiration and alternative solutions for SMEs to showcase their collections and concepts. As part of the Small but Perfect project the objective was to create a decentralised cross-European “fashion week” which offers an alternative to the often wasteful fashion week system.
The Fashion Revolution Open Studio programme within the Small but Perfectly Formed project offered the ‘open studio’ format to the 28 selected SME projects to share their insights, processes and perspectives with a public and industry audience. It provided an accessible format to capture best practices generated by the participating SMEs and was used as a vehicle to challenge the existing fashion showcasing model, by influencing industry stakeholders themselves to make a transition to circular and sustainable models within the showcasing system.
