European Fashion Passport (EPP) is international fashion concept & network project that consistof five steps. The first step of the project is toorganize fashion shows for 30 young designers from Europe in Sarajevo in autumn 2019 where we would like topresent their work. Same event is planned to be held in Barcelona 202, and in Prague 2021.
The main goal of the project is to continue its European path. Designers are chosen on the principle of one state by one designer. Each designer presents his country in a given year. The goal of the fashion show is to enable place to promote young designer, through photographs and video as a tool in the further work. At the event, we will organize Awarding ceremony for the most perspective designer, and the Award for the winner is participation in European fashion event, and beside that, we will try for winner to get an engagement in fashion house. BH representative will be chosen from University of Bihac, Textile Faculty in Bihac. The idea is that Bosnia and Herzegovina will be presented by group of young designers with a single collection. Member of the committee of the fashion show will be fashion magazine editors from Europe.
The second part of the project is a thematic workshop that aims at the cross-section of Europe's fashion scene in all segments, trend and color trends, change of dress concepts, textile industry development, all in cooperation with Textile School in Sarajevo and Textile Faculty in Bihac.This workshop aims to provide a database on the current situation of the European Fashion scene and its movements in the coming year. Prominent students of Textile Schools and Textile Faculty will also participate inthis segment.
The third part of the project is a creative workshop where 30 designers aim to create only one work that should remain one of the cultural and artistic institutions of the city and the country in which the project takes place. It is a kind of gift for young designers of the European city in which the event takes place.
The fourth part of the project is photo shooting, in which each designer chooses one location in the cityin which the event takes place and records its collection at that location. In this way, we present the touristic and cultural-artistic potential of the city and the state in which is project held through designer’s work. In this segment we include and develop a photographic and make up scene.
The fifth segment is to digitize all previous segments and the placement of this material on a web platform. On this way, all material should be at the service to designers, photographers, models, make-up artists of Europe. On this web platform, we will have multifarious material of Europe's fashion scene with all the necessary information. This segment in the future will be very important for the textile industry of Europe as a database that will save both time and money for research.
