CSFW's Fashionistas of the Week Presented by EXOTIC Fashion TV: KATSEYE sustainable fashion.

Bursting onto global stages with seismic choreography and wardrobe moments that trend faster than a busker’s beat, KATSEYE have become as much a fashion story as a pop one — and California Sustainable Fashion Week is here for it. The six-member group’s visual team has leaned into conscious choices lately, using vintage, upcycled pieces, and collaborations that nod to circular-fashion thinking — moves that make them a perfect pick for CSFW’s Fashionistas of the Week. 

KATSEYE’s creative direction, led in recent seasons by industry vets who champion pre-loved and reworked garments, has foregrounded sustainability in practical ways: tour merchandise reimagined from upcycled fabrics, and styling that blends high-end archival finds with emerging designers who prioritize lower-waste production. Those choices show up not as virtue signaling but as texture — deliberate fabric stories woven into stage personas. 

Why this matters for CSFW: KATSEYE reaches millions of fans across continents, and when a hit group stages a major moment using upcycled merch or elevating vintage designers, it turns sustainable practice into mainstream aspiration. Fans hungry to emulate stage looks are being directed toward circular fashion behaviors (thrift, repair, remix) rather than one-time fast purchases — a subtle but powerful cultural nudge. Coverage in outlets like Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar has already put the group’s fashion choices under the microscope, amplifying that signal. 

Presented by EXOTIC Fashion TV, this week’s spotlight connects those cultural ripples to an outlet with its own long history. EXOTIC Fashion Magazine — a glossy title that has chronicled daring, luxury and international style stories — expanded into streaming and broadcast content to bring runway and lifestyle programming to digital audiences worldwide. The brand now operates EXOTIC Fashion TV, a channel and platform that syndicates fashion shows, model features, and interviews and is available on streaming platforms like Roku. Together, magazine and TV form a multi-platform home for style that ranges from avant-garde to commercially influential. 

EXOTIC’s programming and editorial reach make it a natural presenting partner for CSFW: the magazine’s archive sensibility (celebrating 20 years of fashion storytelling) plus the TV network’s visual-first approach help translate sustainable fashion moments — such as KATSEYE’s upcycled tour merch and vintage-led looks — into formats fans will watch and imitate. EXOTIC Fashion TV’s platform amplifies these practices to viewers who might not otherwise seek out sustainability content, turning inspiration into potential behaviour change.

At CSFW 2026 we celebrate style that respects people and the planet — and KATSEYE’s recent styling choices demonstrate how pop power can transform fashion norms. With EXOTIC Fashion Magazine and EXOTIC Fashion TV presenting, this Fashionistas of the Week feature isn’t just about looks; it’s about the runway reaching the recycling bin, and pop culture making sustainability cool.
