DESIGN COMPETITION // FRONT ROW SOCIETY - PATCHWORK


CREATIVE BRIEF

Submission Deadline: 15 June, 2015, 6pm CET
Voting Starts: 16 June, 2015, 6pm CET

They say the grass is always greener on the other side, which might be why as experts in perfectly produced digital prints, we tend to lust after artisanal, handcrafted pieces, where each individual flaw or variation only adds to the object’s unique charm. That’s why we’ve chosen to focus our latest challenge on one of the ultimate expressions of homespun craftsmanship: patchwork. 

No longer just a practical means of using up scraps of old fabric, we want you to celebrate the fantastic variety of patterns and prints patchworking can offer up. Imagine the cosy bohemian atmosphere created by old quilted blankets and throws, as paisleys and florals collide in a delightfully eclectic assembly; or the excitement of going through a treasure trove of vintage prints as you browse through old fabric swatches. It’s time to pick up your sewing needle and show us what you can patch together.

What can you win?

Each winner receives a one-off prize of 200€ once the collection launches on the website plus a sample of their products when it arrives in stock. But that is not all – if your design receives 500 orders on wholesale, you will receive an additional €200. This means that FRS can continue to embody the spirit of fashion democracy, rewarding our top designs again...and again...and again! We will also conduct an interview with the winner, publicizing their design across the fashion community in Berlin and worldwide.

DESIGN COMPETITION // FRONT ROW SOCIETY - AFTER THE STORM

CREATIVE BRIEF

Submission Deadline: 15 May, 2015, 6pm CET
Voting Starts: 16 May, 2015, 6pm CET

Our previous challenge “The Tempest” explored the chaos and devastation that Mother Nature can unleash on the earth, when in the grip of a stormy mood. Even the fiercest fires don’t burn forever though, and every storm has its subsequent calm. For our “After the Storm” challenge, it’s the gentle aftermath we’re asking you to focus on, those moments when the storm clouds have cleared and the earth appears itself once again.

Imagine the subdued pitter-patter of dripping tree branches, heavy with water from the recent deluge. Fragments of delicate flowers and plants are washed downriver, swept along with the newly flooded currents. The whole world looks as though it’s been washed clean and returned to order, but traces of the recent squall remain in tattered feathers and crumpled petals, as if the storm had abandoned its work halfway through. We’re looking for roughly painted watercolors, or unfinished sketches that show us your vision of the calm after the storm.

What can you win?

Each winner receives a one-off prize of 200€ once the collection launches on the website plus a sample of their products when it arrives in stock. But that is not all – if your design receives 500 orders on wholesale, you will receive an additional €200. This means that FRS can continue to embody the spirit of fashion democracy, rewarding our top designs again...and again...and again! We will also conduct an interview with the winner, publicizing their design across the fashion community in Berlin and worldwide.

DESIGN COMPETITION // FRONT ROW SOCIETY - THE TEMPEST



CREATIVE BRIEF

Submission Deadline: 15 May, 2015, 6pm CET
Voting Starts: 16 May, 2015, 6pm CET

The natural world is a glorious treasure trove of inspiration, containing a breathtaking variety of living forms in all their myriad colors and textures. Lulled by sweeping vistas and lush landscapes, it’s can be easy to overlook nature’s darker side. Which is why our latest design challenge focuses on those fits of rage that engulf the earth in a devastating outburst of howling gales and torrential rains.

Imagine glowering black storm clouds rolling across the skies, split by forks of jagged lightning and accompanied by crashing rumbles of thunder. Rushing floods of water appear in an instant, engulfing everything in their path, while raging winds tear across the earth, ripping up tree roots to leave gaping wounds in the earth. We want to see designs that reveal the unforgiving wrath of nature, so use all the tools at your disposal; whether through mixed media or digital techniques we’re looking forward to seeing the beauty of the storm in all its rough, textural glory.

What can you win?

Each winner receives a one-off prize of 200€ once the collection launches on the website plus a sample of their products when it arrives in stock. But that is not all – if your design receives 500 orders on wholesale, you will receive an additional €200. This means that FRS can continue to embody the spirit of fashion democracy, rewarding our top designs again...and again...and again!

DESIGN COMPETITION // FRONT ROW SOCIETY - PLAYFUL POP

CREATIVE BRIEF

Submission Deadline: 15 April, 2015, 6pm CET
Voting Starts: 16 April, 2015, 6pm CET

Sometimes it can feel as though we’re watching the death of popular culture, reaching saturation point with this or that reality starlet and bombarded with messages about the latest manufactured musical menagerie. At Front Row Society though, we like to make lemonade with the lemons life hands us, which is why lately we’ve been immersing ourselves in pastiche. From the weird and wonderful creations of Jess Bonham and Anna Lomax to the surreal images of Californian surf punk artist Tyler Spangler, there’s a panoply of artists poking their tongues out at modern life – and we want you to join them.  

For this month’s scarves challenge we’re asking you to take a playful pop at the entire canon of mainstream culture. Think back to the humorous sophistication of the swinging 60s, with their colorful flowers blooming from stark black and white grids; or the fun and frivolity of 90s pop music in all its exuberant glory. We’re looking for a clash of pinstripes and polka dots, colorful graphics and surreal combinations. The (pop) world is your oyster, so grab a fork and start eating!

What can you win?

Each winner receives a one-off prize of 200€ once the collection launches on the website plus a sample of their products when it arrives in stock. But that is not all – if your design receives 500 orders on wholesale, you will receive an additional €200. This means that FRS can continue to embody the spirit of fashion democracy, rewarding our top designs again...and again...and again! We will also conduct an interview with the winner, publicizing their design across the fashion community in Berlin and worldwide.

DESIGN COMPETITION // FRONT ROW SOCIETY - PRINT PARTY

CREATIVE BRIEF

Submission Deadline: 15 March, 2015, 6pm CET
Voting Starts: 16 March, 2015, 6pm CET

It’s a little guilty pleasure of ours to every now and then open up the Front Row Society archives and browse through the fantastic range of patterns and prints you guys have been creating for us since we launched our very first design challenge. And what a feast for the eyes it is, from bold geometric graphics, to delicate floral etchings, and covering every imaginable style in between: tribal, watercolor, embroidery, iconography, and much much more.

So this month, we've decided to celebrate everything that we do best here at Front Row Society with our “Print Party” design challenge. You heard us, we’re not just looking for single prints this time – we want to see you go all out with designs that feature a wonderful clash of patterns and colors. Take inspiration from the history of print and try to mix old and new styles, like a classic floral pattern contrasted with an ultra modern geometric design.

What can you win?

Each winner receives a one-off prize of 200€ once the collection launches on the website plus a sample of their products when it arrives in stock. But that is not all – if your design receives 500 orders on wholesale, you will receive an additional €200. This means that FRS can continue to embody the spirit of fashion democracy, rewarding our top designs again...and again...and again! We will also conduct an interview with the winner, publicizing their design across the fashion community in Berlin and worldwide.
