Mindful Fashion New Zealand

Our Vision

We imagine a future where New Zealand's unique clothing and textiles industry inspires better in the world.

Built on values of responsibility and creativity, we strengthen NZ’s fashion industry through:

• Advocacy
• Collaboration
• Innovation 

Our unique position brings the clothing and textiles industry together to address shared challenges and seize new opportunities. We champion a resilient and thriving local industry for all New Zealanders. At the heart of what we do is a commitment to a sustainable future, one that takes care of people and place.

How We Create Change

Our work with educators, brands, manufacturers and Government agencies is creating workforce training programs and skills development pathways.

Through education, we empower Mindful Fashion members to set goals and deliver meaningful change in responsible practice and sustainability to address social and environmental impacts of production. 

In partnership with R&D organisations, we are working on innovative ways to create and use textiles in NZ.

We educate and inform consumers about sustainability and mindful consumption, and share stories of our local industry to showcase New Zealand's businesses to local and global audiences.
