The Competition
Our flagship project
The close bonds between fashion, art and culture is the common thread behind BIAAF’s competition.
BIAAF’s flagship project, a biannual international fashion design competition, aims at giving hundreds of emerging fashion designers the opportunity to express their unique, personal imaginary worldwide.
Curiosity for form and shape, fascination for color or an interest in certain cultural references, from architects and sculptors to contemporary artists inspire these young creatives’ collections.
