2022 marks the introduction of a new era for the most anticipatedfashion event of the year, Art Fashion. This year Art Fashion will partner up with DNM (DirectieNatuur en Milieu) and together they are supporting The United Nations in the ActNow Climate Campaign, with the aim of raising awareness and promoting lasting behavior change when it comes to fashion choices. This project is co-founded by the European Union, highlighting the SDGā€™s which are sustainable development goals.

The challenge, part of the ActNow Climate Campaign, aims to educate and encourage individual behavioral change, mainly by adjusting consumption patterns. Fast Fashion Industry is the second largest contributor to Climate Change;therefore, this Fashion Event will be a direct invitation to the Aruban community to step up and act now their climate actions and join the movement to build a better word.

Designers, such as Elisa Lejeuz, will present an awe-inspiringcompilation of scarves with designs depictinga Totem Ode to the Gods. The original Aruba Rock drawings are one of the special patterns of her designs where only silkworms and water were involved in the process. Her collection support Climate Actions.

For the first time, Aruba will host a group of young performances from the sister Island of Bonaire, ā€œMala Muchaā€, showing their peculiar style and bringing their message about animal extinction, in the form of songs that will impact and flow in their designs.

Greenhouse Gas (GhG) emission and global species extinctions (trees and important animals) cause warmer temperatures over time that are changing weather patterns and disrupting the normal balance of nature. This poses many risks to human beings and all other forms of life on Earth.
