Redefining Couture for the Future
The scholarship encourages designers to create a mini collection of three silhouettes that honor ELIE SAAB’s aesthetic while presenting a renewed, contemporary vision of luxury couture. Entrants are guided by three core pillars:
- Craftsmanship: Elevating handmade techniques, exquisite detailing, and refined finishes.
- Textile Innovation: Pioneering sustainable, high-performance, or avant-garde materials.
- Responsible Values: Championing ethical, culturally informed, and forward-thinking approaches to fashion.
By emphasizing these principles, the program positions emerging designers at the crossroads of heritage and innovation, reinforcing the relevance of couture in today’s socially conscious, design-driven world.
A Scholarship Designed to Inspire and Empower
Following a meticulous selection process, one standout designer will be awarded the scholarship, covering up to 70% of tuition fees for Istituto Marangoni Paris’s Master in Fashion Design program. Beyond financial support, the recipient gains unparalleled exposure to the international fashion community, developing expertise at the intersection of craftsmanship and contemporary luxury.
