FASH European Fashion Award 2013
OPEN TO ALL DESIGN STUDENTS
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
The theme of this year’s European Fashion Award is “SEXes,” which is described as looking for new images for men – which in turn reveals new images for women as well.
In this day of acceptance of homosexuality, this competition is inviting entries for clothing for the “femi man.” Is the current street style for men demonstrating a move away from the conventional idea of masculinity and embracing styles that have conventionally been viewed as feminine?
With the blurring of male and female fashion, the European Fashion Award 2013 is seeking a new role model for men, and in turn for women. What are the new options for our myriad identities? Is there an acceptable differentiation between male and female?
And what about styles for the middle-aged population?
An in-depth analysis of the role of the sexes should be made and documented in order for you to develop your own image of man or woman.
1ST PRIZE: €2500 ++
2ND PRIZE: €1500 ++
3RD PRIZE: €1000 ++
