Impact: The Art of Sustainable Living

WRAP × Fashion Alliance Network — NYFW February 2026

Circular Art. Sustainable Fashion. Global Community.

The Waste Reduction Art Project (WRAP) partners with Fashion Alliance Network (FAN) during New York Fashion Week to present a multi-day cultural program spotlighting circular design, sustainable fashion, and community-led creation. Featuring the Slum Art Collection from Ijora Badia Village, Lagos, this experience transforms recycled materials into powerful contemporary art and fashion on a global stage.

Expect immersive exhibitions, hands-on sculpture builds, artist masterclasses, thought-provoking panels, and curated cultural programming — culminating in a closing celebration with performance and music.

From grassroots makers to global fashion audiences, WRAP × FAN connects local creativity with the international NYFW community of press, buyers, collectors, and cultural leaders.

Join us to explore what sustainable culture looks like when art, fashion, and community collide.
