FASHANNE is fast becoming the byword for emerging talent. It is the Fashion Designers of the Future Awards which take place annually – providing a bridge between education and the world of work. But more than that, Fashanne is a community connecting new talent with industry – to the benefit of both.

Live Event
Fashion is so much more than clothes…it’s about the way we think, the aspirations we harbour, the way we live and the way we want to live.
It’s about our future as much as our present and our past, and to reach out to the next generation in the best way possible is possibly the only way of ensuring that the future is what we all want it to be.
For 2022, we were back with a bang for a live event at St Mary’s Church, Nottingham! We hope you all had a fantastic night and congratulations to all the finalists and, of course, the 10 award winners!
A big thank you to our sponsors, universities, judges and supporters for their continued support. We look forward to working with you all again for the 2023 awards.
Keep well and Best Wishes,
