Re.Stance Collective

Re.Stance Collective is a boundary-pushing, community-driven initiative celebrating upcycled design, sustainability, and artistic innovation. On February 4–5, 2026, during New York Fashion Week, Re.Stance presents an immersive, ticketed showcase featuring over 70 upcycling and sustainable designers, alongside textile and fiber artists whose work challenges conventional fashion narratives. With hundreds of runway looks, the event centers BIPOC and emerging voices while drawing designers, industry professionals, press, and a fashion-forward audience. Sustainable Fashion Showcase (Runway Show) 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM Over 40 sustainable designers present collections worn by dancers and models, merging art, movement, and fashion into a living installation. Ethereal vocals and immersive soundscapes score the show in real time. Garments come alive through motion—bodies in flow becoming part of the narrative. Immersive projections transport the audience into another world. Afterparty by CVLTVS 8:30 PM – 12:00 AM As day turns to night, the energy shifts into celebration. Curated by CVLTVS, the afterparty features DJs and performances that recontextualize the works seen throughout the showcase. Fashion moves from runway to rhythm as sound, bodies, and space converge, closing the night in collective release, connection, and cultural exchange.
