The first pro ethical and pro ecological Polish competition for fashion designers.
Responsible Fashion Awards – competition for clothes designers dedicated to all fashion enthusiasts, but mainly to designers interested in responsible clothes design with ethical and ecological principles.
Our mission, both MSKPU’s – as an educational facility, and LPP’s – as a leader in clothes design and production in Poland and Europe, is to popularize the knowledge related to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and to promote ecological and ethical solutions in the textile industry.
MSKPU is the first one and so far the only fashion school in Poland which teaches CSR, while LPP is the only Polish clothing brand with such a rich and consistent Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy.
We share the understanding of the importance of the subject of ethics in fashion as well as the mission of implementing responsible attitudes in the clothing industry. Hence, we named the competition Responsible Fashion Awards.
