Applications are open for the 2026 Vilcek Foundation Prizes for Creative Promise in Fashion & Culture and Fashion & Design, targeting immigrants under 38. The foundation will award six $50,000 prizes to young immigrants who have excelled in these fields, emphasizing how their unique traditions enhance the fashion industry. Fashion reflects cultural changes and serves as self-expression. The Vilcek Foundation recognizes the significant contributions immigrants make to society through arts and humanities, encouraging applicants from various fashion-related roles until June 9, 2025.
Winning [this prize] was an incredible honor and a deeply personal milestone. It recognized not only my creative journey but also the unique perspective I bring as an immigrant in the fashion industry.
The Vilcek Foundation aims to bring awareness to the many ways fashionâand the immigrants working in fashion-related fieldsâmake our society better.
