BFTA Design Competition

Each year there is an increasing interest in the BFTA Design Competition. This is open to students from fashion colleges across the UK. The purpose of the competition is to encourage students to be creative and to discover endless possibilities that fur gives to designers.

Entrants are required to sketch a collection of garments and/or accessories incorporating the use of Origin Assured fur. A dozen finalists are invited to attend a workshop where they learn about new techniques.

Students should get in touch with BFTA in October to find out details of the forthcoming BFTA Design Competition.
 
The designs are judged and three winners will have their garments made up using fur. 

The winning garments are put forward to the International Fur Trade Federation’s (IFTF) design competition ‘REMIX’ organised by IFTF in Milan.

In 2008, 2009 and 2010 the UK entrant was one of eight finalists for the International Fur Design Competition.

In 2010 the UK entrant won the Silver Award at REMIX - image shown.
