Strauss magnetises the fashion world - for the first time, based on the theme “It’s a magnetic world”, Strauss presents the Special Award Workwear Couture prize in the context of the internationally significant European Fashion Award FASH.

Our theme: Workwear can be function and fashion. This requires spirit and skill, imagination and mechanical implementation. With our award, we want to promote a new generation of tailor artists.

We will stream the award presentation from the new powerhouse of the fashion industry - Frankfurt / Main. The design talents will showcase their Magnetic Statement pieces at Osthafen. The high-calibre jury (consisting of Couturier Kerstin Strauss, Art Director and creator of the digital character @noonouri, Joerg Zuber and other) will rate specifically the implementation, the functionality as well as the sustainability of the designs.

Effects of Corona on the international fashion production in Germany and the world. Minimalism "here", loss of jobs "there"? Will production will be more regional/local in the future?

In a short film we present the essence of the study "Status of German Fashion". At European level, Germany occupies second place among the largest fashion brand providers, just behind Italy, but ahead of France, Portugal and Spain, which makes it clear that Germany as a fashion location is highly relevant both nationally and internationally. Nevertheless, there has so far been a lack of political and social acceptance of fashion as an important economic and cultural asset.
The study published by the Fashion Council Germany also shows that the requirements for the fashion industry have been redefined by Corona. During the lockdown, the industry, especially stationary retail, recorded a drastic decline in sales, which was partially offset by the increased online business. But that is not enough. The pandemic makes it clear that a system change that has long been necessary, and thus a transformation, must take place, above all in terms of technology, digital and sustainability. In addition to political support, this also requires all of us to rethink.

In an age of climate change, health crises, social responsibility and contested colonial thinking the fashion industry is subject to a circular, slow-down, existential design-thinking process. Due to these major global changes, alongside changes in communication, technology, energy, transport and manufacturing technologies, the codes and the conditions of all stakeholders are changing tremendously within the industry, from designer, over retailer to consumer.

How will the fashion weeks of Paris, Milan and London face this “new” future and create a roadmap for a “future-proof” change? Will the next generation be the changemakers?
Will the crises highlight the interconnectedness and enhance collaboration and opportunities between European fashion stakeholders? How can fashion councils help to empower and foster independent fashion brands in this changing reality?

How are brands prioritising to future-proof their company? Are companies investing efficiently in social and environmental priorities such as circular systems, efficient use of resources, smart material choices, better wages systems, and respectful work environments?

Fashion education has a huge impact on the industry. It is the mirror of the future.

“A majority of the time we can do better when we know better and here’s how” is the beginning of a manifesto created by Georgina Johnson, the curator and artist behind The Laundry Arts. A future education system interconnecting science, business, art and design in which sustainability is prior and inclusion is not even questioned. How empowering the next generation of creative talent to unlock innovative new approaches? In order to deal with the interdependent social, cultural, ecological, racial, intersexual and financial issues within the fashion industry, education at all levels needs to play a key role in encouraging urgent change.

More and more fashion brands are incorporating craft elements and influences into their collections, especially in the luxury fashion market. The demand of purchase has is altered, consumers are more and more willing to pay for a locally made product. What techniques, materials and skills will be needed to foster a better future in the wake of the global pandemic? Are crafts the new luxury to reply to the need for companies to embrace sustainable development and ethical business practices? Will knowledge and know-how survive in this extremely competitive fast-moving industry and increasingly digitised world? Have designers a social responsibility in this process? Investing in crafts and skills could have major sustainable benefits, such as support to a local economy and women empowerment. Building bridges between traditional crafts and the future of technology is no easy feat. What will be the challenge of the next generation in the preservation of traditional skills.
