Applications are open for The Fashion Accelerator 2026
It’s here! We are pleased to launch The Fashion Accelerator 2026, supported by PVH Foundation and in collaboration with Dazed Media.
The Fashion Accelerator is open to young fashion talent who graduated with a BA degree from a GFF Member University between 2017-2024. 10 promising creatives will be selected as participants by a diverse industry judging panel and invited to join The Fashion Accelerator.
This exciting opportunity is designed to support young, creative individuals from under-represented backgrounds who are looking to kickstart their fashion businesses or brands. We’re searching for the next generation of innovators that are getting started in their creative careers in fashion.
Are you a designer who needs support growing your business? Are you a photographer wanting to take your skills to the next level? Are you a stylist trying to go from free time to full-time? Whether you’re a photographer who needs help getting a consistent workflow or a creative director who needs more pitching opportunities, The Fashion Accelerator is here to help you break through and transform your business or brand.
The Fashion Accelerator is a development programme, inclusive of mentorship, a summer seminar series, panels, networking and a spot in The Innovators of Tomorrow showroom at Truman Brewery in June. It exists to inform, support and scale founders and entrepreneurs in the early stages of their career journeys, giving them a solid business foundation.
