By providing the inspiration and information needed to make it possible, we are revolutionising the fashion industry so that people, companies and the planet can flourish together. Together we are reimagining the way fashion is designed, made, worn and reused."

De Ceuvel
"De Ceuvel is an award-winning, sustainable planned workplace for creative and social enterprises on a former shipyard on the Johan van Hasselt Kanaal off the river IJ in Amsterdam North. In 2012 the land was secured for a 10-year lease from the Municipality of Amsterdam after a group of architects won a tender turn the site into a regenerative urban oasis."
