The "Forever Green" edition of Costa Rica Fashion Week will run from August 21 to August 24.

According to the organizers, the event will take place in various locations in downtown San José and headquartered in Antigua Aduana.

The event's purpose is to promote the most recent sustainable and modern fashion trends in Costa Rica. It also attempts to strike a balance between fashion and environmental responsibility, noted the event's organizers.

"We are proud to be the country's leading fashion platform," stated Karina Díaz, Fashion Week director. "We are seeking to increase sustainability in a sector known for its environmental impact."

National designers for this edition include Jenssie Chacón, Dana Vindas, Elías Zúñiga, Stefanny Baldí, Roberta Calderón, Nolys Rodríguez, Stephanie Valverde, Kevin Rojas, Alaia Bogantes, and Gabriel Loría.

 

The show will also include foreign designers from Colombia, Mexico, and France.

On August 21, the inaugural ceremony will highlight new designers. There will also be an educational event called Costa Rica Fashion Talks, where fashion experts will provide free public workshops.

Throughout the rest of the week, Costa Rican entrepreneurs and fashion enterprises will display their products and artwork at the Fashion Market.

The event is free, and tickets are available through the Star Tickets website. A tree will be planted for every ticket reservation.

After the main event, the designers' creations will be shown in the U.S.-Costa Rica Cultural Center in San José's Los Yoses district.
