Tommy Hilfiger Fashion Frontier Challenge announces winners

Apon Wellbeing and A Beautiful Mess have won the 2019 Tommy
Hilfiger Fashion Frontier Challenge. The program supports
entrepreneurial start-up businesses working to develop solutions to
create positive change in the fashion industry.

A Bangladesh-based scale-up, Apon Wellbeing opens fair-priced shops
for daily necessities inside factories to benefit workers. Dutch
start-up A Beautiful Mess provides creative spaces for refugees to
help them achieve social and economic independence through creating
sustainable apparel products. Each were awarded 75 thousand euros.

The Tommy Hilfiger Fashion Frontier Challenge received over 400
applications for the second edition of its global program. In addition
to funding, the winners will also receive a year of mentorship from
Tommy Hilfiger’s and INSEAD’s global experts.

“At Tommy Hilfiger, we’re committed to wasting nothing and
welcoming all. From start to finish, I have been inspired by this
talented group of social entrepreneurs whose innovations are making
the fashion landscape more sustainable and inclusive,” Hilfiger said
in a statement.

“I am proud to congratulate this year’s winners, Apon Wellbeing and
A Beautiful Mess. This is just the beginning for these start-ups and
we will continue to mentor and foster these entrepreneurs who are so
committed to making a positive impact in our industry.”
