Historic:

The Historic Award is open to the creative using any technique they prefer to best represent Historic fashion Moments of the past or present. In a fast moving fashion industry, capturing the best moments in history or illustrating a behind the scenes image, helps to document these special times. Artists and image makers have captured collections and shows throughout history and some of the best image makers have been lucky to see these moments, as they happen. Documenting and translating these shows enables audiences to try to imagine the time, place and atmosphere. The artwork should try to reflect the mood of the fashion show.
