Date

24 July 2026

In collaboration with Eurasian Fashion Week, IED launches the Fashion For Future Contest 2026, an international competition dedicated to students, graduates, and emerging fashion designers from around the world.

This year's theme, “Human Touch”, invites participants to explore the value of craftsmanship, individuality, and human creativity in a world increasingly shaped by technology. Through fashion design, material research, sustainability, and innovative thinking, candidates are encouraged to develop a personal interpretation of the theme. 

A jury composed of representatives from IED and Eurasian Fashion Week will select 10 finalists, who will have the opportunity to showcase their work during Eurasian Fashion Week 2026 in Almaty, Kazakhstan. 

Participation is free of charge. Applications must be submitted by September 5, 2026.
