Neo.Fashion. 2021 digital
Everything is different, everything is digital! As part of Berlin Fashion Week and beyond Neo.Fashion. 2021 will be in a digital format. From January 18th 2021 on ten Universities from all over Germany will show their Best Graduates’ presentation videos.
Over the past years a new platform for fashion newcomers in Germany has been established with Neo.Fashion. Just like at Graduate Fashion Week London we are creating the possibility to offer a stage for the creative young people in Germany.
The current Corona situation is challenging the universities, graduates and us as well, the organizers of Neo.Fashion.
Therefore ‘Neo.Fashion. 2021’ will be hosted in a digital format for the first time: ‘Studying Fashion Design in times of Corona: difficulties, challenges and possibilities!’ from 18th of January until 18th of March 2021. Eleven Universities from all over Germany will join ‘Neo.Fashion. 2021 digital’:
Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaft Hamburg
Hochschule für Künste Bremen
Hochschule Reutlingen
Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin
Fachhochschule Bielefeld
Lette Verein Berlin
Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle
Hochschule Pforzheim
AMD Akademie Mode & Design
Mediadesign Hochschule
Hochschule Niederrhein
In addition to the presentation videos we will show photos, videos, interviews and many exciting stories on the channels of Neo.Fashion. as well as on all the channels of the Universities and partners – their websites, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. The goal is to bring the topic ‘Studying Fashion Design in times of Corona: difficulties, challenges and possibilities!’ closer to public.
Idea of Neo.Fashion
Neo.Fashion set a goal to be the platform and turntable for the best graduates of the Fashion Universities in Germany and German speaking areas and to present Fashion for Future to a broad expert- and visitor audience in the scope of ‘Best Graduates’Shows’.
As a new future network, the project Neo.Fashion offers young fashion designer of German Universities a (event-) platform for further education, network and to establish contacts to fashion brands and the fashion industry.
The launch of the first Neo.Fashion. was with one school in 2017. In January 2019 four schools were participating and in January 2020 already nine schools from all over Germany.
The format of Neo.Fashion. is unique and the first in the promotion of young adults in the German fashion- und creative landscape. The event is following a sustainable development in the organisation as well as in the execution.
Neo.Fashion. will grow in the following years – the aim is participation of all German Fashion Universities. A Fashion Award for ‘Outstanding Creative Sustainable Concepts’ and a summer academy to educate in the area of sustainable fashion are planned.
