The Circular Fashion Exposition (CFE) is the University of Illinois' premier fashion and circular economy-focused event.
Frustrated by the obscene amounts of fashion waste produced annually, I created this event to give students & the campus community access to the fashion resale ecosystem.
Since its creation in 2022, the CFE has garnered major media attention and support from global fashion houses, and the event now attracts >1,000 students each school semester.

Success
Since 2021, we've rescued 3,000 garments from landfill through resale, which translates to 100,000kg of CO2e and 21M liters of H2O prevented from new clothing production.
