Burda Fashion Start Contest - Build Your Collection With Burda

Hubert Burda Media together with Fashion Hub present Burda Fashion Start - a unique competition for young designers, during which participants will create a capsule collection of three images.

Burda gives young talented designers, fashion designers, clothing designers, as well as students of relevant educational institutions the opportunity to take part in an unprecedented competition that will help participants unleash their creative potential and present in the finals an author’s collection consisting of three finished images. A creative marathon will allow competitors to challenge themselves and their abilities in order to go beyond the usual framework in an atmosphere of real creative competition and move to a new level of skill.
The uniqueness of the Burda Fashion Start contest lies not only in the fact that Burda will provide everything necessary for the workflow, from consumables to expert consultations, but also in the format of the contest: the entire process of creating the collection will be filmed and published on the burdastyle website .ru.
From June 10 to July 17, everyone can apply for participation in the competition by sending a questionnaire and sketches of the future fall-winter 2016 collection that meet the following requirements: the first of the three images must be created entirely from Burda magazine patterns, in the second image one of the things must be sewn on Burda patterns; in the third image, the use of Burda patterns is not necessary. At the disposal of participants is an electronic catalog on the site burdastyle.ru with more than 3,000 electronic patterns.
Designers can present themselves at the competition both individually and as a team (designer, assistant designer, seamstress, designer).
The winners will have an extensive prize pool, which includes a trip to Offenburg at the Burda Fashion Factory, a place for the production of patterns and sewing patterns, a certificate for fabrics and accessories, access to a catalog of patterns throughout the year, gifts from partners and sponsors, as well as many other prizes.
The competition is held with the active participation and support of our partners - the Beautiful Fabrics store, the art-fabric.ru online store, SELA clothing store, the leading manufacturer of sewing threads Gütermann, and the Season store chain.
The competition will end on August 27 with the final show at the BurdaFest lifestyile festival in the Museon park in Moscow.
