Emmaüs is up to something new! The solidarity association is ready to shake up society's codes in favor of a cooler, greener and more stylish world, with a healthy dose of fashion and design. From May 31 to June 3, 2023, get ready to experience Stüdio Emmaüs'Upcycling Fashion Week, the free couture event that's sure to blow your mind! On the program: 6 upcycling projects, developed by members of the Emmaüs movement, for 4 days of madness with sales, exhibitions and do-it-yourself workshops, right in the heart of the fashion capital, Paris.

At Emmaüs,upcycling is the trend! A bold response to the need to innovate while thwarting the decline in the quality of donations. Here, everything donated to Emmaüs is transformed into one-of-a-kind pieces by the skilled and creative hands of our integration workers! A local production model that proudly bears the colors of a social and ecological project, and proves that responsible, stylish fashion is possible. In short, the perfect alternative to fast-fashion!

What's upcycling? Giving a second life to materials or objects that would otherwise end up in the garbage can. We transform and magnify them. Old becomes new, without destroying the raw material and without using up a ton of resources - ideal!
