Hip hip hooray! It's finally here. In the fall of this year, 2025, after an eight-year break, the awarding of the fashion prize for young couture talent that is on the threshold of education and profession resumes.
The fashion king of the Netherlands, as couturier Frans Molenaar (1940 - 2015) jokingly calls himself, established the prize of 10,000 euros in 1995 and finances it himself. Like no one else, Frans knew how important encouragement and support are at the start of your career. The foundation that bears his name is now picking up the thread again.
