The RUNway organization and ECO Impact are inviting you to participate in the upcoming exhibition “Crossed Perspectives on Engaged Fashion France-China,” which is set to take place in Saint-Denis in November 2024. All artists, artisans, couturiers, and designers devoted to responsible and ethical fashion residing in Réunion are cordially invited to accept this invitation. Additionally, there will be a special chance to further the Franco-Chinese relations on the island.
Eco-Friendly Fashion: Runway Agency and Ethical Design
On the island of Réunion, ethical and green fashion is becoming increasingly popular. In late September 2024, RUNway, an agency dedicated to advancing sustainable fashion, is scheduled to open. Within the local fashion sector, the organization seeks to promote a better understanding and enjoyment of sustainable methods, with a particular emphasis on ethical and responsible fashion.
RUNway is extending an invitation to Réunion’s artists, craftspeople, and designers who work in ethical and responsible fashion as the event’s planning gets underway in November 2024. This event highlights the value of sustainability in fashion while providing a venue for exhibiting the skills of regional creatives.
An Exhibition of French-Chinese Fashion Collaboration
The exhibition, which is sponsored by Ademe International and approved by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs in honor of the Franco-Chinese diplomatic relationship’s 60th anniversary, intends to highlight the traditional textile artistry of China and France. The purpose of the event is to encourage collaborations and exchanges in the field of sustainable and ethical fashion between the two nations.
In an effort to increase awareness of sustainable and circular fashion methods on the island of Réunion, the exhibition will function as a center for conversations, innovation, sharing, and collaboration. Additionally, it will serve as a demonstration of the skill and knowledge of Réunion’s craftspeople, emphasizing the island’s contribution to the worldwide push for ethical fashion.
Promoting Local Involvement and Worldwide Effect
Beyond just organizing events, RUNway’s aim also includes raising local awareness and actively assisting in the decrease of textile waste and the protection of natural resources. RUNway wants to encourage people to think again about their wardrobe choices by promoting circular fashion and setting an example for sustainable practices on the island for both locals and tourists from across the world.
Talent from China and Réunion will come together for the exhibition in November, highlighting the significance of cross-cultural interchange in fostering innovation in the fashion sector. Through upcycling projects or the resuscitation of old skills, the event will show how creativity and sustainability can coexist.
Using Fashion to Strengthen Franco-Chinese Relations
Apart from exhibiting the artistic abilities of regional artists, the exhibition endeavors to fortify Franco-Chinese relations by enabling imaginative partnerships between artisans from Réunion and their Chinese counterparts. This collaboration aims to unite two cultures with a shared commitment to sustainability, not only about fashion. The combination of Chinese and French customs will result in a distinctive style fusion that will highlight the opportunities that occur when diverse civilizations work together to achieve a common objective.
Creating an Eco-Friendly Fashion Future
The deadline for submitting an application to join RUNway is September 30, 2024. Anyone who thinks that fashion can be a powerful force for good is welcome to attend. Attendees will get the chance to present their work, impart information, and participate in a wider discussion about the direction that fashion is taking. Those who are interested can email asso.runway@gmail.com to get more information.
The exhibition “Crossed Perspectives on Engaged Fashion France-China” is a movement aimed at fostering a more sustainable and responsible future, rather than merely an event. The exhibition hopes to inspire a new generation of fashion designers who respect people and the environment by bringing together the talents and traditions of France, China, and Réunion.
Saint-Denis will serve as the focal point of a global discussion about the direction of fashion in November. Setting the groundwork for an event that promises to be impactful and inspiring is RUNway in partnership with ECO Impact. In addition to showcasing the participants’ artistic and technical abilities, the exhibition will serve as a reminder of the value of sustainable practices in the modern world.

The exhibition offers a venue for learning, working together, and creating in support of ethical fashion. As a designer, artisan, or artist, your involvement will advance the discourse and open the door to a more conscientious fashion sector.
