The Istituto Marangoni Riyadh has launched a scholarship contest, 'Made for Fashion', to support and identify the next generation of creative talents in the fashion industry. This initiative is particularly significant given Saudi Arabia's rapid emergence as a dynamic creative market under Vision 2030. The program invites young and emerging designers to showcase their interpretation of fashion creativity through a unique submission process. By selecting an example of creativity in fashion and explaining its resonance with them, applicants can demonstrate their vision and originality. The categories for submission include fashion design, fashion business, fashion communication, and image, with a focus on aesthetic approach and overall quality. The judging panel, comprising representatives from Istituto Marangoni Riyadh and WWD, will evaluate submissions based on coherence, originality, and aesthetic merit. The scholarships offer up to 50% tuition deduction for the three-year diploma, one-year course, and 16-week course, with application deadlines set for July 30 and September 30. This contest is a testament to Istituto Marangoni's commitment to nurturing the next generation of fashion talent, particularly in the rapidly growing Saudi market. As Amanda Smith, CEO of Fairchild Media Group, emphasizes, this partnership with Istituto Marangoni Riyadh is a global extension of their dedication to supporting the future of fashion. The contest not only provides financial support but also offers a platform for young designers to showcase their unique perspectives and contribute to the region's cultural and economic stake in the international fashion arena.
