The nominees for the Hummingbird Fashion Awards 2025
HUMMINGBIRD FASHION AWARD ANNOUNCES NOMINEES FOR THE GLOBAL FASHION AWARD 2025 TO BENEFIT THE ELTON JOHN AIDS FOUNDATION
We are delighted to announce the nominees for the Hummingbird Fashion Award 2025 (HFA), taking place on Tuesday 9 December in Frankfurt, Germany.
HFA is organized by LA Vision Entertainment and serves as the fundraiser for the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF), supporting youth led HIV prevention projects across Sub Saharan Africa. The Awards celebrate fashion’s role at the intersection of culture, creativity and positive change, spotlighting the talent and stories that defined the past year.
A Jury of 3,000 industry professionals — editors, buyers, stylists, photographers, educators, and executives, distributed equally across all six inhabited continents to ensure a truly global perspective on contemporary fashion made the selections in their first global voting. Their votes were cast anonymously via a secure platform to ensure transparency and geographic parity.
“Our jurors—from Accra to Auckland, São Paulo to Shanghai—reflect fashion’s truly global dialogue,” said Maike Lanz, Head of Planning Team of the Hummingbird Fashion Award. “Their selections honour creative excellence on a global scale”
