The inaugural Slow Fashion Show was hosted by the Czech Centre at A House Ark in Stockholm in March 2020. Monika Pizur, the project’s creator and leader, was an intern in the Czech Centre during her master’s degree studies at the time. Following the event, Monika connected with Alex Levchenko, a guest at the show.

Monika returned to Stockholm in the summer of 2021, reuniting with Alex to discuss the idea of organizing another Slow Fashion Show and continuing the project together. The concept for the second SFS was developed, and in the autumn of 2022, they successfully organized the show at Blivande, Stockholm, in collaboration with the Czech Centre in Stockholm. Prior to the event, Monika met Ebba Mercedes, who expressed a desire to contribute and be part of the SFS. Following the show, we welcomed Ebba to our team.

In the spring of 2023, we successfully transitioned into a non-profit association. With a comprehensive 5-year plan, we are actively working on expanding into different slow-focused communities and beyond, aiming to create the optimal platform for showcasing our designers.

Our current focus is on the third Slow Fashion Show scheduled for March 2024 in Stockholm, as we continue our mission to promote sustainable fashion and support emerging designers.
