French Design Awards

The French Design Awards unveils the glamorous universe of its Fashion Design category, where creativity adorns the human form, weaving together threads of tradition and innovation. This is a world where fabric, color, and texture merge to create not just garments but bold statements of individuality and culture.

At the French Design Awards, we celebrate those who dress the zeitgeist, the designers crafting wearable art that inspires and transforms fashion. Welcome to a celebration of extraordinary talent and innovation in fashion design at the French Design Awards.

Deadlines & Fees

At the French Design Awards, we invite all designers to contribute, regardless of whether their designs are in-progress, finalised, or purely conceptual. Victors are selected based on a single entry, not a collective portfolio, thereby emphasising the importance of careful submission selection.

In an endeavour to promote financial accessibility, the French Design Awards has implemented a cost-effective entry system, while utilising a $30 annual administrative fee. This fee covers a wide array of expenses, including printing, mailing, and data management. Thus, every participant incurs the same economical fee, yielding greater value for those submitting multiple entries.

Results Announcement: 20 Mar 2025

* You may submit an entry into multiple categories at the same time. The first Category will be charged as per the original submission fee. Additional categories (2 or more) will be charged as such.

* Fees are non-refundable. Withdrawn entries (whether withdrawn by entrant, or by the French Design Awards for entrant's failure to comply with the entry rules) will NOT be refunded.
