ICHF’s annual Fashion Design Competition invites budding textile, art and design students aged 13-18 years to create the unimaginable and defy expectations with our brand new challenge: Wearable Art!
This year, we dare you to delve into the realms of artistic genius and select an artist who ignites your passion – whether it’s the pop culture icons of Andy Warhol, the vibrant spirit of Frida Kahlo, the profound sculptures of Anthony Gormley, the thought-provoking works of Banksy, or the boundary-defying artistry of Ai WeiWei – the choice is yours to make! Immerse yourself in the essence of this artist, delving into their motivations and personal lives, letting their genius fuel your imagination as you embark on a journey to turn your inspirations into stunning wearable creations! But that’s not all – picture yourself strutting down the catwalk at Fashion & Embroidery, NEC Birmingham, showcasing your masterpiece. Dare to dream, dare to create, and dare to defy expectations – the stage is set, and the spotlight awaits you!
