DUBAI: The Abu Dhabi Music and Arts Foundation has launched a student competition in collaboration with Italian luxury label Dolce & Gabbana. The inaugural edition of the Dolce & Gabbana x ADMAF Design Award 2023 aims to support and encourage a new generation of creatives, by offering the opportunity to learn hand-crafting skills, as well as a chance to win an internship with Dolce & Gabbana in Milan. Divided into three categories – fashion, jewellery and fragrance – the award is open to Emirati students aged between 18 and 30, who will be taught how to enhance their creativity in their chosen field of interest under the guidance of expert mentors. The finalists in each category will see their designs brought to life in collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana, and will show their work at the Abu Dhabi Festival next year. A winner from each category will be awarded a six-month paid internship program at Dolce & Gabbana in Milan or Legnano (Italy) in their respective fields.
