Why is that when we see a Person, we are able to tell a Lot about them without even talking to them ? The Accessories we use, the Clothes we wear, Texture & Materials of our Apparels, they not only just cover a Body but also define a Persona. Fashion helps in expressing a Person´s Unique Sense of Style. Fashion is the Way we choose to present ourselves in front of Others and to the People around us. That´s something a Person shares with the Creative Professionals who take Fashion from Concept to Consumer. "Festival International des Créateurs de Mode" Awards 2019 seeks to recognize and honour such Exceptional Young Fashion Designers across the Globe. Fashion Designers who help others to express their Style and define their Persona. This International Festival is inviting Fashion Designers who are able to create Signature Style and have used Colour and Movement to create Stunning Outfits which evoke Feelings of Excitement, Passion and Longing. It will acknowledge some of the Outstanding Designs and promote them at a Global Scale through Different Means and Media.

It would like to be sort of a "Creative Hub" which helps encourage the Economic Development of Fashion and Design Businesses. Also, the Aim of this Competition is to detect and promote Emerging Talents in the Contemporary Fashion Field with a High Entrepreneurial Potential, by providing them with the Concrete Means and Resources they need to ensure their Long-Term Success in France and Internationally...
