The French Fashion Awards proudly unveils its Haute Couture category. In this domain, every stitch tells a story, every fabric choice embodies a concept, and every silhouette presents the designer's imagination and breath-taking creations.
At the French Fashion Awards, we celebrate the masters of haute couture, the designers who do more than create garments; they weave the very essence of high fashion. This is a tribute to the extraordinary, to the designers who challenge the boundaries of creativity and bring to life exquisite pieces that define luxury and elegance.
The French Fashion Awards invites designers at every stage of their creative process. Whether your designs are still in the conceptual phase, a work in progress, or fully realised masterpieces, they deserve a spot in the competition. In the award, each entry stands on its own merits – jurors evaluate individual pieces rather than entire portfolios. This approach underscores the significance of each submission, encouraging thoughtful and deliberate entry selection.
In a commitment to promoting financial inclusivity within the fashion community, the French Fashion Awards has established an affordable entry system. An annual administrative fee of $30 will be charged only for the first entry of the entire competition year to cover essential costs such as printing, mailing, and data management. This flat fee ensures that all participants, regardless of the number of entries submitted, bear the same reasonable cost, offering exceptional value, especially for those submitting multiple designs.
