Dubai: “Bright Black Fashion” is basically an international digital platform that aims to discover and promote new talents in the whole fashion industry through challenges carried out through social networks and is born from the desire to open doors to highly talented people who are just starting. 

Bright Black Fashion is a talent hub for the youngsters mainly in which they can show their talent or skills to the world on a series of online challenges, and if they get selected in an online process, then they get a direct entry in the first grand finale in Dubai which is going to held in June 2022, then the winners will get a chance to work with well-reputed companies.

The categories in which participants can participate are Fashion designers, makeup artists, models and fashion photographers.

This event is organised by the two women who mainly belong to Latino and have lived in Dubai for the past eight years; Andrea Laguna from Colombia and Alicia Becerra from Argentina came together during the last couple of years and started working to build a bridge between complementary markets and expand a search for opportunities and support emerging talent from around the world.

According to Andrea, “We really want to give opportunities to the talented people who never got a chance to show their talent to anyone; now, they can do in their industry.”

According to Alicia, “Bright Black Fashion is an amazing platform, especially for the startup. There is so much talent and diversity all over the world, and many people work hard but did not able to achieve success, mainly at the right place or at the right time; all we want to offer them with a special opportunity.”

Anybody can participate in this platform, and it is very simple; anybody can register on the website, which is www.brightblackfashion.com or through the link and this is the link which is also available at our Instagram website @brightblackfashion; and on our website, they just have to select the category they want to participate in, and that’s it!…

They will receive all the conditions via email for the category they selected and start the challenges for the selection team to begin the process,” Andrea explained.

This is basically a tour in order to find the talent, and it will happen in Latin American countries (Argentina, Columbia, Brazil, Mexico, and others), showcasing local and international designers and will begin for the first season in San Luis, Argentina, this next 07th of May 2022 in the convention centre La Punta.

Michael Cinco, one of the biggest names in the fashion industry, a Filipino couture designer based in Dubai for more than twenty years and that has dressed celebrities like Beyonce, Jennifer López, Sofía Vergara, Lady Gaga and Rihanna, will be the headline designer of the show in San Luis alongside designers from the middle east like Salma Khan and brands like The Victor Closet as well as emerging designers from Latin America.

“We have to get the word out that there is a new opportunity for those who actually are serious in getting an opportunity to shine and show their work” Alicia commented on the tour.

According to Andrea, this is their effort to support the new talent in the market, and by presenting Bright Black Fashion in the international arena, having contestants from all over the world and in different categories, it creates synergies in the industry that go beyond the contest itself”.

“Also, for the time being, the independent start of this platform has given us the freedom to adapt and evolve organically with the industry and our audience, without the pressure of a tight script, which tends to happen when presented on TV or screening platforms”. Andrea added.

Furthermore, they also added that if companies want to collaborate, sponsor, and support the platform can also participate.
