About Zero Waste Fashion Week Atlanta
Formerly Atlanta Sustainable Fashion Week
Who We Are
Zero Waste Fashion Week Atlanta (ZWFWA) is a movement launched in October 2021 (originally as Atlanta Sustainable Fashion Week) to provide actionable, stylish solutions that empower consumers and designers to embrace sustainability in fashion. We bridge the gap between eco-conscious ideals and high-end design, showcasing what’s possible when luxury and sustainability work together.
In 2024, we proudly produced Georgia’s first official Zero Waste Fashion Week and became the first B-Corp certified fashion week in the U.S., raising the bar for environmental and social responsibility in the fashion event space.
