Returning for the second year, the Amiri Prize 2023 will accommodate international designers. The Amiri Prize, founded by Amiri’s CEO is a fashion award and incubator that aims to assist young fashion designers to grow their brands.
This incubator is essential, especially when the fashion industry has a lot of significant developments with respect to the audience of these numerous fashion brands. The winner of this prize will receive $100,000. A year-long mentorship with the Amiri founder will be added to the winning package.
Young designers can apply for this prize via the Amiri Prize website. Applicants will be judged by Amiri and a panel of industry professionals. The panel includes Colm Dillane (KidSuper), Samuel Ross (A-Cold-Wall), Salehe Bembury, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson (fashion editor at large, Vogue), Will Welch (Global Editorial Director, GQ), Rocco Liu (Editorial Director, GQ China), June Ambrose (creative director, Puma), Law Roach (stylist), and Lucia Liu (stylist and founder, theBallroom).
Mike Amiri believes “Advising young designers on the beginnings and fundamentals of building their own brand helps” him to stay in touch with the fundamentals of how he started.
