Embrace the fusion of two vibrant cultures in this unique Fashion competition, FWC – Fashion Women Culture, hosted by Istituto Europeo di Design and Accademia Aldo Galli in Turkey as part of the cultural project Enheduanna organised by Addu Tasarim.

In collaboration with the Institute for Italian Culture, the aim is to revive the splendor of Mesopotamian culture by exploring the history and the intricate woven textiles of that era.

The competition invites Turkish designers and fashion enthusiasts, born starting from 1st of January 2002, to combine the Mesopotamian heritage with Italian fashion. The winner will obtain a 100% scholarship to our summer course in Textile Design at Accademia Aldo Galli in Como, that will take place in July 2024. 

Join us in a journey of extreme creativity, where history merges with modernity to craft innovative designs that honor ancient traditions, while showcasing the sophisticated Italian style. 

Please, read the brief and regulations of the FWC – Fashion Women Culture competition before participating.
