Special Award Workwear
1. Portfolio
In addition to the above standards for the FASH, the portfolio for the special award Workwear should clearly show the special requirements for workwear design, such as functional solutions – for example for pockets – or the use of specific materials.
2. Design a silhouette: Upcycling Works
Design a statement piece in patchwork look that works.
Please select a profession for your design. The design should best meet the functional requirements of this profession.
When choosing possible materials from fleece to canvas you can use the online shop www.engelbert-strauss.de as a guideline.
When upcycling, the craftsmanship is important, whether overlock, lap or quilted seam.
The drawing of a silhouette should be submitted. It is up to you whether it is a free illustration and/or technical drawing.
At the workshop in Berlin, the nominees have the opportunity to choose from leftover materials for the realisation.
