The most special guest at the lunch was Raili Auraskari, winner of the category “Bronx vs. Boulevard,” who traveled to Frankfurt in the frame of her “Once-in-a-lifetime” Fashion Trip. “It is a great pleasure for me to be here today and have the possibility to personally meet all of you,” said Auraskari. “It is great to see that so many people commit themselves to talented young designers and my triumph at the FRANKfurtstyleaward proves to me that I made the right choice.”

Thanks to numerous supporters and the visions of its founder Hannemie Stitz-Krämer, the FRANKfurtstyleaward accomplished a huge development from a regional competition, during the first announcement and invitation in 2007, to a talent contest from international extent. In its 10^th anniversary edition in 2017, the FRANKfurtstyleaward will dare the leap over the big pond. Following the partner countries France, Italy, and China, the USA will be the focus of next year’s AWARD GALA. Therefore, the FRANKfurtstyleaward did not only celebrate the successful annual closure of 2016 but also next year’s invitation and the general preview of 2017.

Soon, talented young fashion designers are invited to create new, creative, innovative, and sustainable designs for the Call for Entry 2017 under the motto “Modern Reality” and the categories #working #sporting #dating.

Special thanks go to gold sponsor Schlosshotel Kronberg that already pledged to support the FRANKfurtstyleaward again in its 10^th anniversary in 2017.
