Fida 10th Awards Judges' feedback:

"Fashion illustration today thrives at the intersection of tradition and innovation, and illustrators now are blending hand-drawn techniques with digital tools, transforming illustration into an expressive art form. The Fida awards continue to bring value and importance to the craft of fashion illustration, by advocating for the recognition of human artistry in a tech-driven landscape, and celebrate and give importance to artists, new and old alike." Esra Roise

"In my selection I chose to reward the originality and spontaneity of the artists' sign. In today's context, where the specter of artificial intelligence challenges those in our profession, I think it is important to affirm our talent in addition to the ability to represent on paper aesthetic concepts related to fashion and trends, also to express ourselves in drawing by referring to our personal background and experiences." Alice Piaggio

"It was an honour being the judge for The 10th Fida Fashion Illustration Drawing Awards 2024 as I got to see so many creative and innovative entries. Choosing just one winner per category was difficult because everyone had a different style and unique and refreshing way of interpreting their ideas. From my perspective, the art world is continuously changing, but one thing that will never change is people's need to see beauty and feel understood through a piece of artwork, whether a painting, fashion or any other type of art. To all the contestants, I would like to thank you for your participation and encourage everyone to continue to create beautiful things. It takes courage to put your work forward and it can sometimes be daunting, but it is important to show your work to as many people as possible." Irina Selaru

"Today, fashion illustration and art celebrate unparalleled freedom of expression, allowing artists to explore their unique visions without limits. The Fida Awards are a testament to this creativity, showcasing diverse talents and pushing the boundaries of what fashion art can be."  Kseniia Puzrova

"An incredibly difficult selection to judge with an amazingly high standard (as one would expect from Fida). Particularly impressive is the representation of traditional artistic processes and physical methods of expression. The work on display here shows that the current state of fashion illustration and art is thriving and that the future looks to be very exciting." Ryan Gajda

"The fida 10th awards celebrate the talent of contemporary fashion illustrators and students  who are making an original contribution to fashion illustration in- live fashion drawing, print, graphics, drawing from life and Fine Art." Annabel Pearl
