PARIS GOOD FASHION X EYES ON TALENTS

CALL FOR COMPETITION

Within the framework of Paris Good Fashion, whose vocation is to co-construct with players in the fashion sector a roadmap to act concretely and progressively transform practices in order to make Paris THE capital of responsible fashion by the time of the 2024 Olympic Games. As part of PARIS GOOD FASHION and in collaboration with APF France handicap, EYES ON TALENTS is awarding Grand Prix Inclusive Design - Fashion Design category.

Purpose and theme of the competition

Convinced that it is essential to involve creative minds in order to raise awareness about sustainability and inclusivity, Eyes on Talents and Paris Good Fashion launched in 2019 the Grand Prix Inclusive Design with APF France handicap in order to reward creative minds committed to designing a more sustainable world.

In 2024, the third edition will be dedicated to fashion & design in the perspective of the Paralympic Games of Paris 2024. 

This 3rd edition will address the theme of Adaptive Wear and how designers can challenge themselves to meet the needs and abilities of people with varying degrees of disability.

The aim of the competition is to reward an innovative creative proposal that will drastically improve a situation of disability, whether by a function of utility or an aesthetic review of an existing object.
