Participants in The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) Challenge will help to further the awareness and understanding of sustainability in textile related products by creating a runway worthy garment using previously used fabrics or garments. Participants will create a runway-worthy garment from previously used fabrics and/or garments and then create a marketing campaign focusing on sustainable fashion. The cost of materials to create the garment should not exceed $20. Challenge participants will make presentations to FIDM executives and instructors via videos posted on YouTube.
