Fashion Makes Sense Award | Meet The Finalists

 

 

FASHIONCLASH presents the fourth edition of the Fashion Makes Sense Award, a stimulus prize for young designers with innovative and sustainable ideas for the future of fashion. The award aims to develop talent and support sustainable designers, as well as raise awareness with a larger community.

 
 

The Fashion Makes Sense Award (FMSA) consist of two different prizes, one of 1.000 Euros given by the audience; and one of 2.500 Euros given by a panel of Jurors. The prize is intended for the development of future sustainable work. The winner will be announced live, on the Saturday 27th of February at 14hs. The voting will be opened until that same day. We invite you to check your favorite artist and cast your vote! 

The projects this year cover a wide variety of sustainable topics and original ideas. Upcycled military garments, recycled masks used during the covid 19 pandemic, materials that come from waste, and even the representation of a singer voice made through design engineering; this year’s contest is promising.
