The MFMS Fashion Forward Showcase recognizes college students at U of M and across the country who are innovators and entrepreneurs in the fashion and media worlds. From those who are fashion-forward in their thinking and their pursuits to those who are already making strides to be members of the next generation of fashion industry leaders.

Leaders. Creators. Visionaries. Designers. Pioneers.

Whether you’re developing a brand, growing a media presence, creating content, or maybe even just sketching designs—this showcase is for you. 

Five finalists will be selected to attend the Michigan Fashion Media Summit, where they will present their work in front of hundreds of attendees, renowned speakers, and top industry executives. At the conclusion of the Summit, one winner will be announced and awarded an exclusive professional development opportunity. The FFS is a career-defining platform for student creatives to gain exposure, build connections, and take their endeavors to the next level.
