FMSA has been created in co-operation with the Province of Limburg and was launched during the FASHIONCLASH Festival 2017 in Maastricht. FMSA is meant to motivate and stimulate promising talent to think about sustainability and to offer young talents support in developing a durable collection.
The FMSA consists of two awards: the jury prize worth EUR2,500 (US$2,900) and the public prize worth EUR500. This year, ten designers were selected to show their work to the public and a jury panel in the hope of being named the winner of the Fashion Makes Sense Award 2018.
From 1-7 October ten outfits can be admired at high-end Dutch department store Bijenkorf in Maastricht, where the public may cast their vote.
In addition, attendees to this year’s IAF World Fashion Convention can also vote for their favourite design during the IAF Festive Fashion Dinner at Château St Gerlach on 9 October.
