Theme for EFDIC Season 2

This edition’s theme is “Thread to Ramp,” aiming for collections presented during the contest to tell a story. Contestants can explore themes such as sustainable fashion, the perils of fast fashion, fashion innovations, or dying arts and techniques. However, contestants are not limited to these ideas, as the main goal is to provide a platform for aspiring designers and fresh stories. As long as your collection tells a story, you are eligible to participate in the contest.
