BFTA Design Competition

Each year there is an increasing interest in the BFTA Design Competition. The purpose of the competition to explore the use of Origin Assured™ fur in fashion, to be creative and innovative and to discover the endless possibilities that using fur can give the designer.

Entrants, from a variety of UK fashion colleges are required to sketch a collection of garments and/or accessories incorporating the use of fur. The designs are judged and three winners will have their garments made up using fur.

Winners are invited to attend a workshop where they learn about new techniques and have the possibility to visit a fur design centre.

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

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

In 2005 the UK entrant won the Bronze Award at the International Fur Design Competition.
