HISTORY

The Arts of Fashion Foundation Fashion Student Competition was created in December 2001 as the U.S. extension of the world renowned Concours International des Jeunes Créateurs de Mode - an international fashion design student contest sponsored by Air France and the French Federation of Couture. This global contest was introduced in 1982, in Japan, and has grown steadily over 23 years. In 2006, this international student contest stopped to be held in Paris.

Since then, the Arts of Fashion Foundation, a public American nonprofit 501(C)(3), brought this international competition to the United States and has continued to make it a unique and authentic annual fashion rendez-vous for students, schools and fashion professionals from all over the world to celebrate creativity in fashion. The Arts of Fashion Foundation has evolved into an internationally-recognized organization that is completely independent and neutral to the limitations of commercial interest. They have dedicated themselves to encouraging and supporting creative designers by introducing industry professionals and public audiences to their unique work. Through its different programs, the Foundation is committed to advance the work of visionaries and risk-taking creative fashion designers.

This Premier International Student Fashion Competition takes place each Fall during the annual Arts of Fashion Symposium, hosted every year by a different university or school or department.

2015 THEME : TRANSLATION2015 is the 14th anniversary of the Arts of Fashion Foundation and the 9th consecutive year that this international competition will be organized and held in the United States.

CONCEPT & SELECTION PROCESS

The spirit of this competition is not to try to find the next Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen or even rank the designers from best to worst, but to recognize and award the most creative projects in order for these students to continue their education and training in order to become better designers, by offering them the opportunity to work, study and learn from renowned mentor designers.

ABOUT THE MASTERCLASS PROGRAMS

THE ARTS OF FASHION MASTERCLASS

The MasterClass-Series began with the idea to teach the different arts of fashion and is one of the most successful and growing programs offered by the Arts of Fashion Foundation.

The Symposium MasterClass-Series launched in 2005 with only one class, and the program has expanded to between 4 and 5 classes per year with a minimum of 60 students to ensure a positive dynamic work environment and a substantial network. Each year, we partner with the fashion program of a different university to host the MasterClass–Series. The classes are taught in english over a period of 5 full days by a team of 2 renowned designers per class of 15 students who come from around the world.

Due to the success of the Symposium MasterClass, the Arts of Fashion Foundation launched the Summer and winter MasterClass Programs where students travel abroad to spend 4 weeks studying under these cutting-edge designers at Les Arts Decoratifs Museum at the Louvre in Paris. Collaborations with prestigious Parisian Haute Couture Craftmanship houses including Maison Lesage and Atelier Lognon have been developped.

THE MASTERCLASS IS MEANT TO:

• Developcreativitybyexposingstudents tonewtechniques,craftanddifferentdesignapproaches.

• Give participants the opportunity to learn from first-handexperiencewithcutting-edgedesigners.

• Allowstudentstheopportunitytocreateauniqueworkfortheirgraduatingportfolios.

ABOUT THE DEBUT-SERIES

PLATFORM FOR ENTREPRENEURIAL DESIGN GRADUATES OF U.S. SCHOOLS

The Arts of Fashion had built a relationship with students during their years in universities and colleges with the International Student Competition, the MasterClass-Series, and the intensive summer and winter abroad programs. Through the DEBUT-SERIES, this relationship can continue to grow and bear fruit as those students become mature young professionals.

The Foundation introduced DEBUT–SERIES in 2007 to promote emerging fashion design graduates by giving them the chance to bring their first collections to show on the runway for members of the press, industry professonals, and lovers of fashion.

The DEBUT-SERIES is open to applicants who are within 5 years of having graduated from an institution of higher education. Applicants submit drawings of their collection plan (6/8 looks) and at least one sample garment. The Arts of Fashion review committee will select the designers to participate in the DEBUT-SERIES presentation, and the committee will act as advisors during the production process. One of these designers will receive an monetary reward of $5,000 to continue to develop their line and encourage entrepreneurship.

ABOUT THE FASHION.EDU-SERIES

The Arts of Fashion Foundation FASHION.EDU-SERIES was introduced in 2008 under the direction of Steven Faerm from Parsons the New School for Design in New York.

The FASHION.EDU-SERIES gives opportunities to 3 to 6 selected fashion educators - professors, artists and designers - who teach at fashion institutions in United States and abroad to present their research and publications to their peers. During the academic year, professors are invited to submit to the Arts of Fashion Foundation a presentation proposal. Professors who have recently published books and articles frequently use this opportunity to come and discuss their topics with the public.

ABOUT THE CINETOILE-SERIES

The Arts of Fashion Foundation CINETOILE-SERIES was initiated in 2002 during the first Arts of Fashion Competition hosted at the University of Cincinnati with “Notebook on Cities and Clothes” by Film Director Wim Wenders.When the Arts of Fashion competition turned International in 2007, CINETOILE-SERIES became fully part of the Arts of Fashion Foundation Professional-Series programs.The video screening is an occasion to invite the public to view short films, documentaries or feature films that are not widely distributed in the United States and are related to the world of fashion and the arts linked to it.
