ShowcaSing global innovation
The WGSN Futures Awards (formerly the WGSN Global Fashion Awards) are
staged by WGSN, the world’s leading trend authority, to recognise innovation and
breakthrough talent on a global scale.
Judged by an elite panel of international experts and attracting entries from more
than 50 countries, these are the only awards in fashion and the creative industries
with a true global reach.
Our categories are divided into two sections: Design, recognising breakthrough
talent and excellence at brands and retailers; and Business, recognising
outstanding performance and innovation.
The awards are open to designers, brands, retailers and suppliers (large and small)
across the globe. Last year we attracted entries from 50 different countries.
