Fashion is more than what we wear

Muse Project

MUSE is a Creative Europe project that brings together emerging designers, skilled artisans, and individuals from diverse backgrounds to co-create a powerful capsule collection inspired by folklore, sustainability, and inclusion.

From embroidery to innovation, from tradition to transformation, MUSE celebrates creativity as a tool for connection. Across Europe, we’re weaving stories into garments, amplifying unheard voices, and crafting a more vibrant, diverse, and conscious fashion culture.

Step into our world. Explore the collection. Meet the makers. Wear the message.

Key themes

Mission

MUSE – Mosaic of Understanding through Style and Expression is a Creative Europe project that transforms fashion into a platform for social inclusion, cultural exchange, and sustainability. By uniting designers, artisans, and individuals from diverse backgrounds, we co-create garments that carry stories, foster connection, and reimagine heritage through collaborative design.

Inclusion

We work with individuals facing social and cultural barriers — including migrants, women affected by war and those living with mental health challenges — ensuring their voices are visible through creative expression.

Creativity

Our collections are born from collaboration and a free creative process. Designers and artisans come together to blend folklore with innovation, producing original pieces that celebrate shared heritage and contemporary design.

Gender Equality & Representation

MUSE places gender equality at the heart of its vision. We recognise that individuals from marginalised communities — especially women, migrants, and LGBTQ+ people — often face overlapping barriers to cultural participation, visibility, and well-being.

Sustainability

MUSE is committed to eco-conscious practices — from upcycled materials to low-impact production — promoting fashion that respects both people and planet.

We are
