European Fashion Heritage Association
www.fashionheritage.euThe European Fashion Heritage Association is a non-profit organisation established in 2014 in order to bring together and engage fashion institutions (Brand archives, Museums, Research institutions, etc.) and creative industries in the valorisation and exploitation of fashion heritage online. Since then, the Association has grown, attracting more than 40 public and private fashion institutions, coming from 14 European countries, with the objective to unlock and give free access to the unique and rich fashion heritage of Europe, collecting and making available more than one million high-quality digital fashion objects, ranging from historical dresses to accessories, catwalk photographs, drawings, sketches, videos and fashion catalogues. We believe that this growing network we have created will strengthen our understanding of national and international identities and help us in finding a definition of our European identity, unlocking the full potential of sharing our common fashion heritage for creatives, scholars and fashion lovers alike. The Association has now become an international hub, in which fashion GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums), brands, researchers and creatives can share experiences and best practices in the field of digitisation, online access and valorisation of fashion heritage resources, contributing to the digital transformation in the sector. The Association is also actively participating in several projects in EC programs, like Horizon Europe, Creative Europe and Digital Europe, in order to sustain and enhance its infrastructure and to continue offering state-of-the-art services to its members. The Association operates also in the broader landscape of European digital cultural heritage, contributing as accredited fashion thematic aggregator to Europeana, the EU funded initiative that brings together and gives access to millions of digital heritage objects coming from cultural institutions across Europe.
