131 participants from 11 countries
The finale of the European Fashion Award FASH 2019 is an opportunity that is only offered to a few talents. 131 students from 11 countries with 20 nationalities took part in the European award. “Even applying for a competition in this category has strengthened my self-confidence,” says one finalist.
The young Fashion designers are influenced above all by the necessary changes in the fashion industry and a new awareness of genderless fashion. The young fashion photographers ask whether the general public still recognizes a difference in the quality of images.
“The submissions were of two extremes” says jury member Filep Motwary, Editor-at-Large of Vogue Greece, “from one side we encountered submissions that already have a very strong and mature design structure and on the other we saw dossiers that were incompetent in understanding what their potential profession is about.“
Exchange and networking
Two days of intensive exchange, networking and mutual learning await the finalists. The main focus for the fashion students is the workshop “The Art of the Curve – From Draping to Digital Pattern Design”.
Among the experts accompanying the finalists are: Helge Aszmoneit, German Design Council; Dr. Britta Bommert, Head of the Fashion Image Collection Modebild, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin; Katherina Deeken, Managing Director, Deeken HR; Detlev Diehm, Diehm Bespoke; Otto Drögsler, Creative Director Odeeh; Joel Horwitz, Head of Design (P&C, zLabels, Adidas); Jacqueline Kellner and Karin Schiller from Lectra; Janine Sonnabend and Manuel Hallermeier from CLO3D; Kerstin Strauss, Creative Director Engelbert Strauss; Carl Tillessen, Trendanalyst German Fashion Institute; Max von Treu, photographer and Tina Winkhaus, photographer.
The highlight of the two workshop days will be the awarding of prizes worth 6,000 euros and individually tailored coaching sessions.

SDBI – Promoting Fashion Talents since 1978
For many years, the European Fashion Award FASH has been one of the most important international awards for fashion students. The award is presented by the non-profit Stiftung der Deutschen Bekleidungsindustrie (German Fashion Industry Foundation), SDBI for short. Founded in 1978, SDBI is the world’s oldest organization for promoting fashion students.
The award winners have excellent career prospects. Over 40 supported talents work today for such internationally renowned companies like Adidas, Hugo Boss, Missoni or Dorothee Schumacher, for designers such as Vivienne Westwood or as university lecturers. In addition, they have often received numerous other awards.
From designers for designers
The European Fashion Award FASH is supported by SDBI, Messe München the Kunstbibliothek – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (National Museums Berlin) and its partners 25hours Hotels, Deeken HR, Engelbert Strauss, Formes, Hering Berlin, Lectra, Müller & Sohn, Pieperconcept, Pixelgrain, Puma and Vitra. But it lives above all through private commitment: be it in the jury, the organization or generous donations. The prize for the young creatives is thus largely supported by experienced creatives.
