Fashioning the Future Awards is the leading international cross-disciplinary platform for celebrating innovative initiatives towards fashion design for sustainability, its development and communication. By engaging the participation of students and graduates from across the world from a variety of disciplines relating to the design, development and communication of fashion, we increase the possibilities of finding innovation that can benefit us all. There is no limit to human ingenuity and creative thought.

Now in its third year, Fashioning the Future Awards 2011 invites you to provoke and nurture ‘Unique’ responses to our collective desire for a thriving world. The 2011 awards are a showcase for exceptional work that celebrates ‘Unique’ ways to create our futures.

Fashioning the Future is designed and coordinated by the Centre for Sustainable Fashion at London College of Fashion.

Sponsors

Canary Wharf Group plc

Canary Wharf Group plc has achieved one of the greatest feats of civic transformation–an iconic urban regeneration, designing and constructing over 15 million square feet of office and retail space across its 97 acre East London Estate. 20% of the Estate is landscaped parks, plazas and walkways with over 1,000 trees, 88 floral species and each year 70,000 seasonal plants are planted. Canary Wharf also has one of Britain’s highest concentrations of ‘green’ roofs, reducing energy use and encouraging biodiversity. CWG has been named one of the Sunday Times Best Green Companies in Britain for the past three years.

 

The Body Shop

The Body Shop International plc is the original, natural and ethical beauty brand, with over 2,500 stores in over 60 markets worldwide. By striving to use the planet’s resources wisely, The Body Shop searches for outstanding natural materials and ingredients from across the globe to include in its range of products. The Body Shop is proud to have been the first beauty brand to have brought the benefits of fair trade to the beauty industry through its own unique Community Fair Trade programme, to have introduced 100% recycled packaging, and to raise funds and awareness on key issues of the day, including the sex trafficking of the most vulnerable in our society, children and young people.

"We are at a time when everything will be reconsidered. In fact this is one of the most exciting times in design. No longer are we limited to just designing in one area, as we will now start to see, the power of ideas will come from the convergence of skills and knowledge. There is so much to take on board that will ultimately affect the way we all think, process and create. But great design can flourish in these complex times. The Centre for Sustainable Fashion will be at the forefront of this movement."
