Swedish Fashion Council (SFC) is excited to unveil the upcoming edition of SFC [FASHION X] Stockholm, scheduled from Tuesday, November 7th, to Saturday, November 11th, 2023.

This year’s edition will see the release of the second edition ofSFC's Fashion Transformation Report, providing valuable insights and updated figures on the Swedish fashion industry, examining the industry's economic impact, growth and transformation and revealing the results from SFC’s ongoing diversity & inclusion survey. The upcoming event will include experiences from SFC [INCUBATOR] talent and a curated selection of the most exciting players within the Stockholm fashion, art and music scene, including fashion showcases, exhibitions, performances, panel discussions, and parties.

Further highlights include a partnership with DAZED, marking the publication's first time in Sweden, collaborating on a talk and party with an exciting lineup and DJs representing the new era of fashion, art and music.
