Spain hosts fashion innovation and sustainability events

Spain is hosting two significant events focused on the intersection of fashion, technology, and sustainability.

In Madrid, Sepiia is launching an exhibition at the IED, located in the Palacio de Altamira, running from October 2 to October 9, 2026. The showcase explores how technology can transform clothing to address modern challenges such as responsible consumption, garment durability, and environmental impact. The exhibition aims to examine the entire lifecycle of a garment, from material selection and manufacturing to maintenance and waste reduction.

In Valencia, the fifth edition of the 'Future of Fashion' congress will take place on October 15, 2026, at the Centre Cultural La Petxina. Organized by the Fundació del Disseny de la Comunitat Valenciana in collaboration with Valencia Innovation Capital, the forum focuses on transitioning theoretical ideas into industry action. The event addresses legislative changes, repair culture, and social impact, serving as an international meeting point for professionals, designers, and institutions to discuss the future of sustainable fashion.
