FASHION
Fashion sits at a critical crossroads of the climate and human rights crises. From extractive supply chains to exploitative labor practices and environmental harm, what we wear too often conceals the true cost of its creation. Yet fashion also holds extraordinary power—to tell stories, to shape identity, and to reimagine a more just future.
Right Here, Right Now Fashion is a youth-led global platform harnessing fashion as a force for climate justice and human rights. We unite emerging designers, artists, educators, and advocates who are committed to making every garment, process, and presentation as sustainable, ethical, and inclusive as possible.
IMPACT FOCUS:
By elevating young designers who lead with responsible materials, mindful production, and bold storytelling, we transform awareness into accountability. Our work advances a vision of fashion that honors both people and planet—where clothing becomes a declaration of values, identity, and shared responsibility for the future we choose to protect.

ABOUT
Right Here, Right Now Fashion (RHRN Fashion) is a youth-led global platform harnessing fashion as a force for climate justice and human rights—redefining how garments are conceived, produced, and presented, with sustainability embedded at every stage.
Guided by Executive Director Nell Tercek, a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City with international study at FIT Milan, RHRN Fashion brings together craft, ethics, and innovation to advance a new standard for responsible fashion—one rooted in integrity, creativity, and impact.
In partnership with United Nations Human Rights and the Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford, we seek to elevate a new generation of designers who lead with responsible materials, mindful production, and powerful storytelling. Through live cultural experiences and global platforms - including the annual Right Here, Right Now Global Fashion Challenge and the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Youth Summit - RHRN Fashion transforms sustainability from principle into action.
What we wear becomes a declaration—of responsibility and solidarity, and of a future where fashion empowers every individual to express their identity boldly, beautifully, and without limits.
