FUTURE FASHION CONCEPTS by Annette & Daniela Felder

Future Fashion Concepts invites you to an Earth Week evening at 1 Hotel South Beach — an intimate conversation about design, innovation, and the ideas shaping fashion's future.

Future Fashion Concepts is an independent nonprofit founded by Annette and Daniela Felder, the designers behind Felder Felder, dedicated to preparing next generation designers for fashion's transformation through hands-on education programs and industry partnerships. The initiative works directly with leading design schools through its Institutional Program — one of its core educational pillars — bringing next-gen material innovation into the curriculum and into the hands of emerging designers.

The evening opens with an introduction by co-founder Annette Felder, followed by opening remarks from Kerry Bannigan, co-founder of the United Nations Fashion & Lifestyle Network. Together they set the tone for an immersive presentation of student work developed through the Future Fashion Concepts Institutional Program at Istituto Marangoni Miami. Created through hands-on material experimentation with next-gen materials, the work on show invites guests to look closely — at the materials, the process, and the possibilities they open up for fashion's future.

Future Fashion Concepts is a member of the United Nations Fashion & Lifestyle Network and a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
