The Abu Dhabi Music and Arts Foundation (ADMAF) has announced a collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana for a design award.

The gong will celebrate the creativity of university graduates in three categories – fashion, jewelry and fragrance.

Finalists will have the chance to develop their creation with an internship at the fashion brand’s headquarters in Italy. 

This award programme offers a platform for emerging designers to learn, grow and gain mentorship from industry experts.

Finalists will have the opportunity to see their designs come to life as selected designers will be invited to showcase their work at the prestigious Abu Dhabi Festival, where they will receive global recognition and exposure.

ADMAF is offering exciting opportunities for emerging generations of designers to display their talent within the fields of fashion, jewellery and fragrance and learn from experts within the fields of couture and artisanship.

The partnership aims to create a legacy that goes beyond the competition itself, leaving a lasting impact on the fashion industry in the region by bridging the gap between tradition and innovation.

Eligible participants can submit their applications online.
