Rabat – Casa Del Arte Society will open its doors for visitors and design lovers on Saturday, 26 October in Casablanca, to discuss the nature of innovation and creativity in the international arts industry, and to expose Fabrikàmode projects which, reflect the innovation and creativity of young Moroccans fashion designers.
The Fabrikàmode competition aims to discover young fashion designers in Morocco, who will be overseen by a group of fashion experts from the University of Brighton, in the UK, accompanied by Lilia Yip, an independent fashion designer and owner of the mark Lilia Yip.
The project will support young Moroccan designers through providing advanced training for 35 students and young designers from the Academy of Casa Moda and the Graduate School of textile and clothing industry in Casablanca.
Students who are about to graduate and enter the business world need the skills and the approaches that will lead them to success in the global market.
The Fabrikàmode competition includes design workshops where students can discuss their problems and learn how to deal with them. The workshops will cover everything related to fashion design and trademark research, and include practical sessions on the management of fashion companies.
In December 2013, teams of designers will compete against each other during a fashion show at the Casa Moda Academy for a chance to become the best new label in Morocco. The jury will be composed of a team of professional designers and leaders in the Moroccan apparel industry.
