We are hoping to see the world change. But we had to face the facts. It would not change on its own. The new guiding theme is well reflected and based on the challenges and opportunities arising from transformation processes, digitalization, migration and environmental developments.

The FRANKfurtstyleaward is ready for its 12th edition!
The world, nations and societies have always been in a process of change. Culture and conventions have changed, bans have been abolished and new paradigms have defined the rules of coexistence. Fashion is the medium that reflects these transformations. Today, change is more necessary than ever. And should it not develop faster than ever before, when the environment, values and new rules of coexistence are at stake?
In line with the motto BENEFITS of CHANGE the FRANKfurtstyleaward invites more than 1000 fashion schools worldwide and opens the competition to some 600 finalists of the past years as well as master classes and newcomer designers with own labels to apply for this well-established worldwide competition for young fashion and design talents.
After having had France, Italy, China, the USA and Africa as partner countries in the past years, Canada is in the focus for 2020.
We started the 12th Call for Entry for the international fashion & design award FRANKfurtstyleaward under the motto BENEFITS of CHANGE in December 2019 – before the outbreak of the corona pandemic. Until the deadline for submissions at the end of February, climate change and environmental protection were still the main focus.
Despite all the restrictions we have to accept, we feel obliged to present the talented young international designers who have applied for the FRANKfurtstylaward 2020. More than ever, these young people deserve to have their creative messages listened to.
Due to the Corona pandemic, the consumer goods fair Tendence, which was to take place from 27 to 30 June 2020, was cancelled. Therefore, the award ceremony with FRANK® - THE TROPHY – the highest distinction of this competition – will take place under the motto "FRANKfurtstyleaward goes Digital" in the form of a digital hybrid Finale Show at the Airport Club Frankfurt on 27 June 2020 from 14.00 hrs. to 16.00 hrs.
The FRANKfurtstyleaward is a globally accepted institution and a worldwide career platform for young design talents. Moreover, it is a recognized stage that allows industry and retail to gain insights into the values and style preferences of the next generations. It serves as a trend barometer for the future and hence gives industry and trade valuable impulses for the innovations and markets of the future. The FRANKfurtstyleaward is the ”Style Guide of the Future” and provides orientation for industry, retailers and consumers.
The main prizes from our sponsors amui.space, Staiy and MyFashionary make the career platform even more valuable for young fashion designers.
The FRANKfurtstyleaward Roadshow of the TOP60 COLLECTION with its sponsors and active supporters has been developed as an active marketplace and stage. It is the international career platform, and “incubator” for newcomers in fashion and design.
The mission of the FRANKfurtstyleaward is innovation and sustainability!

Choose your favorite category:
Category 1: Create your Revolution
If you want to change the world, start with yourself. With what you wear individually on the body, you set new priorities.
Create your own fashion revolution, because every revolution has had humble beginnings.
Category 2: Explore Cradle to Cradle
Cradle to cradle – creating cycles – is the philosophy of our time.
Create something new from something that exists already. Integrate the used material, object or fabric and let it tell its story.
Category 3: Dream your Dreams
Duality – who says that reality and fantasy are separate worlds? Accept parallel spaces and many realities that are still unconscious. Where do we feel more than we know?
This is your playground for the unthought, the unseen and whatever exists “only” in your fantasy. Let enchantment become a mode in which the change and its benefits and our ideas of a better world are already visible.
