Following the Secondary Selection, where each semi-finalist presented the questions and ideas they have been developing throughout the program, eight finalists have been selected for FASHION FRONTIER PROGRAM 2026:<\/span><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row sec_text_align_opt=”text-center” row_padding_top=”padding-top-20″ row_padding_bottom=”padding-bottom-20″ css=”.vc_custom_1789388965579{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column]\"finalists_2026[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_padding_top=”no-padding-top” row_padding_bottom=”padding-bottom-30″][vc_column]
Through lectures, feedback from the jurors, and their own research, the semi-finalists have continued to rethink what it means to create \u2014 and how their work connects with society.<\/span><\/p>\n

With each new perspective, they have questioned the standards and assumptions they once held, breaking them down and rebuilding them in new ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, the eight selected finalists will move forward to the Final Selection in December, transforming their ideas into their final creations.<\/span><\/p>\n

How will they translate their questions, aspirations, and visions for the future into clothing?<\/span><\/p>\n

In our upcoming posts, we will introduce each of the eight finalists and share their thoughts as they begin creating their final works.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay tuned for what comes next.<\/span><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_padding_top=”no-padding-top” row_padding_bottom=”padding-bottom-50″][vc_column]
