New materials and cuts, secondhand and recycling, favorite pieces and
new work processes – these are the ideas for solutions provided
by the winning works of the European Fashion Award – FASH 2008.
The prized awarded by the The Stiftung der Deutschen
Bekleidungsindustrie (German
Fashion Industry Foundation) – SDBI looked for fashion under the
title "Attitude" in line with the needs of the environment and social
issues this year.
Fashion in line with the needs of the environment and social issues:
"Combining fashion, which is subject to continual change, with serious
ecological aspects is a highly demanding task. Whoever deals serious
with this topic soon discovers that this is a contradiction that is
hard to resolve," SDBI Project Manager Joachim Schirrmacher stated
during the festive award ceremony within the framework of ispo winter
08 in Munich.
SDBI celebrated its 30th anniversary on that day. At same time, the
non-profit foundation also received an award for its pioneering work
pointing the way to the future as a "Selected Landmark 2008" from the
