NEW YORK FASHION WEEK 2024
The Green Show x MASTERCARD
The Green Show made its highly anticipated return to New York Fashion Week, cementing its place as a leading platform for sustainability across fashion, clean energy, technology, consumer products, and the arts. Held at Mastercard’s stunning 11-story, 214,000-square-foot tech hub in New York City, this year’s event was a dynamic celebration of innovation, sustainability, and style, bringing together visionaries from across industries to highlight the critical need for eco-conscious practices.
Our headline event featured the New York Fashion Week debut of KÍLÈNTÁR with their stunning Spring/Summer 2025 collection, Mama Ìbẹ́ta. The collection was a vibrant homage to African craftsmanship and ethical practices, with garments handwoven by skilled women in Burkina Faso and Nigeria, using sustainable dyes and techniques. The show also spotlighted sustainable luxury with shoes from OMÔL, beauty by Romana New York, and nail art by the legendary Bernadette Thompson.
Before the runway magic, attendees were treated to a thought-provoking series of panels focusing on the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, social, and economic. Moderated by Jan Roessner, CEO of One Earth Rising, the discussions featured insights from industry leaders like Michelle Adepoju of KÍLÈNTÁR, Peter Rose of Hydro Quebec, Ellen Jackowski of Mastercard, and more, exploring how we can shape a greener and more equitable future across industries.
The celebration didn’t stop there. Our rooftop afterparty, hosted with breathtaking views of the New York City skyline, featured locally sourced cuisine by DIG, signature cocktails by Aupale Vodka and Rosaluna Mezcal rounding off the event in true Green Show style.
We’re proud to have partnered with Mastercard, whose tech-forward venue provided the perfect backdrop for this monumental showcase, and with our other incredible partners who helped make this event possible.
