Startups looking to promote inclusivity in fashion are invited to apply
for the second edition of the Tommy Hilfiger Fashion Frontier
Challenge, the global program helping these small fashion enterprises
to scale-up their businesses. Two winners will receive 150,000 euros and a
year-long mentorship with experts from Tommy Hilfiger and Insead Business
School. An additional 10,000 euros will be awarded to the finalist who wins
the “audience favorite vote”.
Interested business owners have until May 12 to submit project proposals
focusing on inclusive fashion via Tommy Hilfiger’s website. Applicants will
be narrowed down to six finalists who will be invited to develop their
projects further with a team of experts at the Campus of the Future in
Amsterdam, Netherlands, and then pitch the finalized concepts at a final
event set to take place in early 2020.
“Through the Tommy Hilfiger Fashion Frontier Challenge we continue to
mentor and support social entrepreneurs who are putting their heart and
soul into addressing issues they strongly believe in. This celebrates the
entrepreneurial spirit and determined optimism at the heart of our brand
DNA”, said Tommy Hilfiger in a statement.
