A DIGITAL AND PHYSICAL SPACE IN BERLIN TO ACHIEVE NET POSITIVE FASHION.
VORN - THE BERLIN FASHION HUB
VORN - The Berlin Fashion Hub is a physical and digital place in the heart of Berlin, where innovations for a sustainable development of the fashion industry are collaboratively designed, communicated and implemented. As a registered cooperative, our focus is on the profitable business of a community. Our four programs Community Services, Innovation Lab, Scaling Program and Coworking Space create a pre-competitive environment for positive impact in the fashion industry: we are a marketplace for curated services. Our goal? Economically successful circularity in the fashion and textile industry as well as taking social responsibility and reducing CO₂ emissions. VORN is commissioned and co-funded by the The Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises.
