    In the old days anyone who wanted to be taken seriously acted reserved and respectable. These days the “Economy of Attention” increasingly dominates the fashion image. Charisma turned into commerce. Everything screams: buy me! The questions remain: What is beautiful? What is the impact of fashion today?

    The European Fashion Award 2011 is looking for answers to these questions under the title “Attention Please!?”

    Eligibility


    The competition targets especially talented design students from all sectors of design, in particular from the segments of textile and fashion design. Students attending a European university or fashion institute in their 4th semester or later are eligible to enter. Students from outside of Europe are also permitted to enter the competition.

    Eligible entries include designs by individuals, or, as particularly welcomed by the organizers, by inter-disciplinary teams, and/or cooperations with companies.

    Projects that are entered should not have been published yet anywhere else.
