\u25a0What is FASHION FRONTIER PROGRAM?<\/p>\n

This is a new type of program that combines awards and education.<\/p>\n

The foundation was founded in 2021 with the belief that discovering, celebrating and nurturing courageous and ambitious fashion designers of the future will be a driving force for positive change not only in the fashion industry but in society as a whole.<\/p>\n

The 16 semi-finalists selected by the primary selection through the application period from April 21st to June 1st, 2025. They will be able to participate in the education program starting in August.
\nThey will receive lectures from experts, workshops where you can experience various materials and techniques, and advice on the concept of your work.
\nThe eight finalists selected after the secondary selection will be provided with partial subsidisation of production costs and technical advice, and will be asked to give form to their work.
\nThree winners will be selected at the final judging in November.<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_padding_top=”padding-top-10″ row_padding_bottom=”padding-bottom-20″][vc_column]\"7finalists\"[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_padding_top=”padding-top-20″][vc_column]
