Become a Fellow
The SRFI wants to see what makes you unique and how you will make a mark on the future of fashion.
In order for us to identify the most promising talent, we are in search of designers who do not fit the mold, who want to carve out their own path in the industry, who have something to say with their design.
Being a perfect fit for the SRFI is about striking a balance. It's one part "what you can bring to our vibrant community?" and another part "what can the SRFI do for you?"

Applicants submit an introduction video, proposal, portfolio, and resume. If you're right for right now, the SRFI will invite you to step 2, the Interview.
