4th Awards Winners

The 4th FIDA Awards Winners

Lifting Creativity as we rise

Congratulations to all the artists, illustrators and creatives who have showed true grit, courage and talent, to put their work forward for this years awards.

We are proud of all the work submitted and the shortlisted artists this year. We always strive to look far and wide to keep the fashion art environment contemporary, diverse, inclusive, relevant and thought provoking.

Words of wisdom and feedback for the awards:

"Fashion illustration today has few rules. There is great energy and excitement and a palpable surge in interest everywhere. Social media has democratised the process and levelled the playing field (while not always raising standards)

But some things never change. Drawing is still paramount and at the heart of every successful image."

Master Illustrator David Downton

"I found the standard to be very high , with some great examples of individual and imaginative work. It’s really great to see that so many people still feel really passionate about fashion illustration as an exciting and important form of communication."

John Booth - Fashion artist

' It was exciting to see the variety in medium and technique, a mixture of traditional and contemporary which I think made this group of finalists a great grouping. It was also great to see not only current collections but fashion moments from past decades being recaptured and reinterpreted in new ways."

Spiros Halaris - Fashion illustrator

"As an ambassador to FIDA, it's been a privilege to be able to watch closely the growing talent of those who submitted their work.

Season by season, the competition gets more visionary and inventive.

As an illustrator myself, I am keen to appreciate the beauty of the technique but also the love and soul that lie within.

For me, it's easy to see the devotion, intensity and joy behind every single artwork.

I am more than humbled to be called once again to contribute to the Awards.

Congratulations to everyone for pushing Fashion Illustration to new heights and purposes."
