Christian Siriano Champions Circular Fashion at New York Fashion Week

Fashion and innovation met head on at the last New York Fashion Week, as designer Christian Siriano unveiled striking looks made from Canopy’s Next Gen innovator partner Circ’s innovative Lyocell fabric — crafted entirely from recycled polycotton blended textile waste. With its silky drape and luxurious finish, the fabric proves that sustainability and high fashion can coexist seamlessly. Check it out in our new video! 

This marks the first time Circ’s technology has appeared on the NYFW runway, showcasing how Next Gen materials can transform the industry’s environmental footprint. “I wanted to show how sustainable fabric can feel luxurious and elegant,” Siriano shared in an exclusive Teen Vogue interview. “It’s not just for day wear.”

Circular solutions like these keep clothing out of landfills and reduce pressure on vital forests — a win-win for fashion and the planet. When designers like Siriano embrace circular materials, they inspire the industry to follow, moving sustainability from the margins to the mainstream.

Being stylish shouldn’t cost the earth.
