As the fashion industry sees its model accelerate at a frantic pace, collections are constantly renewed and the environmental impact of fast fashion becomes increasingly problematic, the slow fashion movement - a more responsible and sustainable fashion - multiplies initiatives
Thus, the second edition of Slow Fashion Week, an event carried by the Baga collective of which Meanwhile Boutique is part, will be held in Marseille from June 5 to 13, 2026.

Slow Fashion Week, a committed concept
This event is a response to traditional Fashion Weeks, their disastrous environmental impacts and their frequent exclusivity to an elite. The Slow Fashion Week aims to be an inclusive and responsible event, offering the opportunity to discover the actors and actresses of tomorrow's fashion, specializing in upcycling and innovative solutions.
In 2025, this responsible fashion week brought together more than 50 events, nearly 80 designers and creators as well as an audience of 10,000 people.
In 2026, Slow Fashion Week returns for a second edition! More ambitious, more visible, more committed, it is no longer just about slowing down the pace of fashion and making it more committed, but allowing this long time to become an economic value, and creating concrete links between responsible creation and commercial outlets, to perpetuate this fashion of tomorrow.
A day of "RE-Creation" workshops at Meanwhile Boutique
As part of Slow Fashion Week 2026, Meanwhile Boutique is organizing an immersive day dedicated to textile creativity and the circular economy, in collaboration with 13 A'tipik and Sauvage Méditerranée.
It is a 100% participatory day around textile upcycling, open to everyone, with a creative, accessible and committed approach:
- Reuse of local materials, from less than 100 km away
- Transmission of artisanal know-how
- Collective and individual creation
- Immersion in a hybrid place, both a committed workshop and boutique
The workshops take place directly in the heart of the 180 m² of the Meanwhile boutique, which remains open in parallel in a format committed pop-up storewith:
- a solidarity thrift store
- responsible brands (which we also find online)
- pieces to try and buy on site
3 creative and participatory workshops
