Dutch Fashion Awards


The Dutch Fashion Awards is an annual awards ceremony first organised by the Dutch Fashion Foundation in 2007.

Nominations

Designers eligible to be nominated for the Dutch Fashion Awards need to match the following criteria:
The designer:
In order to guarantee an objective and independent vote, the Dutch Fashion Foundation invited a select group of national decision makers and key-players in fashion to serve on the Academy of Dutch Fashion Design. The members of the Academy of Dutch Fashion Design, including the winners of all previous editions of the Dutch Fashion Awards, each listed their individual top 10 of upcoming Dutch fashion designers, resulting in a pre-selection.
The members of the Academy of Dutch Fashion Design are:
Amsterdam International Fashion Week, Arnhem Fashion Biennale, Dutch Fashion Foundation, Fonds BKVB, HTNK, Intres, Klavers van Engelen, Modefabriek, Modint, Monique van Heist, Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds, Sjaak Hullekes and the World Fashion Centre.
From an international point of view the honorary member of the international jury then chooses the finalists who will present themselves and their label to the full international jury on the day of the event.
