Estonian Fashion Festival – EFF – combines three well-known fashion shows: Mood-Performance-Tants, OmaMood and Antonius Fashion Show under one roof. The main objective of the festival is to introduce and support young designers and their high-quality creations: clothing, footwear and accessories.
Designers are selected through a contest for each of the three unique fashion shows. The collections are then presented June 9-10, 2022 in Tartu and Viljandi. The shows are professionally directed and supported by music, choreography, makeup and hair especially catered for each show.
The designers will receive added value in the form of workshops for creating a brand, marketing the products, product photography and compiling a portfolio, as well as presenting the collections. Additionally the designers will get professional feedback from carefully selected fashion experts, an experience in showcasing the collection via a live stream and an opportunity to attend an international fashion fair. There are also different awards for designers.
The main prize of the festival is participation in International Young Designers Contest in Kiev, which was won by designer Cärol Ott in 2018. In 2019 the participant from Estonian Fashion Festival was Karl-Christoph Rebane who won the second prize in Kiev.
The public can enjoy three striking fashion shows and take part in supporting events throughout the year. In order to get a good overview of fresh young fashion design and developments in sustainable design. The festival is aiming to guide the public towards a more conscientious consumerism – to prefer a more curated wardrobe of high-quality and environmentally sustainable items and to be more conscious of the origin of their clothes.
Fashion professionals will get a thorough look at the new talents and directions of fresh new design talent.
Plus, the festival provides a great opportunity for networking and establishing direct contacts with future market influencers in design industry.
