Designer INQUIRiES

We are currently accepting applications for Fashion is ART. We are looking for designers whose pieces showcase fashion as a form of artistic expression and whose garments are viewed as living wearable art. This is not a runway show, this is a fashion exhibit with live models. We are planning to showcase up to 35 total looks and will be accepting applications until all spots are filled.

For Fashion is ART, designers can submit multiple looks, but only 3 looks per designer will be accepted. Designers must submit an application for each individual looks. Each look will be reviewed for participation based on this application so please provide us with all the information listed below to the best of your abilities.

If selected, designers will pay an entrance fee per look of $225. The designers fees cover the cost of their model for the look, cost of hair and makeup their model, event photographers, & FDNW staff. The fee includes show entry for 1 look, event photos (event photos and 2 in-studio photos), and digital copies of artwork created based on your look.

For Fashion is ART, we are looking for bigger and bolder looks to be showcased for this event. We encourage designers to explore the artistic side of fashion. These images are just examples and inspiration. Please review the Fashion is ART Designer Mood Board link below for examples.
