Fashioning the Future
Fashioning the Future is the leading international platform for celebrating innovation in sustainable fashion design, development and communication. It is open to students currently in tertiary education across the world, and those who have graduated in the last two years.
First launched in 2008, the Fashioning the Future Awards now link a host of fashion institutions worldwide and bring together a global community of creative thinkers, doers, designers, innovators and entrepreneurs, all aiming to help the fashion industry steer a course for the future.
Fashioning the Future 2011 – Fashion’s Campaign for Unique
- Fashion’s Campaign for Unique – original image by Rob Phillips
Fashioning the Future 2011 seeks the unique. We are calling for talent that is radically distinctive in its exploration and expression of the complex dimensions of design for future living. Imagination and ideas are often stifled by our current society mechanisms that favour homogeneity and reward ill-considered mass production.
What kind of world are you designing for?
What is your motivation as a designer?
What is your unique contribution to our collective futures?
We are looking for new ways of doing things, grounded in new thinking, and we reward informed experimental applications that offer possibility for the prosperity of all.
Fashioning the Future 2011 will officially launch in October 2010, however in the meantime you can register for updates and preview the brief. Just fill in the form below and you will receive a link to download the brief.
