WE AT MODEFABRIEK 2025
In 2025, we, at Viviana M. C. De La Barca mark five years in the movement and collective advocacy of textile reuse and recycling.
To celebrate this milestone and continue raising awareness, on 6 & 7 July we visit ModeFabriek 2025 — Amsterdam’s fashion trade event happening every year in the Netherlands. For this year’s edition, fashion labels mash up in an impressive dynamic new location spreading out across multiple buildings in the town of Zaandam.
OurBesties
We LOVE seeing more conscious and pre-loved vintage resellers with stunning garments from mid-priced brands to high-end designers, vintage treasures, and collector's items.
We were thrilled with MODEFABRIEK X RESHARE space: a niche giving surplus stock a second life and a spot to reshare textile reuse.
The RESPONSIBLE ROUTE is another highlight: a guide along brands that take responsibility and commit to reducing negative impact.
Watch our clip featuring young talent in the SPOTLIGHT featuring Alegra Collective, Where’Els and Freja Studio.
