Future Fashion Concepts (FFC) is a sustainabile fashion initiative and non-profit organization co-founded by designers Annette and Daniela Felder.  Curated by the pair, it focuses on educating the next generation of designers on circular, regenerative materials like algae and mycelium, featuring partnerships with Istituto Marangoni Miami.

Key Aspects of Future Fashion Concepts :
  • Mission: The initiative focuses on transitioning the fashion industry toward responsible, eco-conscious, and circular models, moving away from wasteful practices.
  • Education & Mentorship: FFC provides workshops, panel discussions, and hands-on, immersive programs for emerging designers, often in collaboration with schools like Istituto Marangoni Miami.
  • Material Innovation: The program highlights regenerative and bio-based materials, encouraging designers to use mycelium and algae in their work.
  • Background: Founded by the sisters behind the fashion brand FELDER FELDER (graduates of Central St. Martins), the initiative began with an exhibition at Art Basel Miami in 2018.
  • Recognition: Future Fashion Concepts is a member of the United Nations Fashion and Lifestyle Network
