Row Society bags are one-of-a-kind pieces with only 100 limited edition
bags being produced and sold. Each winner of a design competition at Front Row
Society is invited to receive 10% of the sales revenue from the product on
which their pattern has been printed. Alternatively, the winner has the option
of taking a one-off immediate prize of $1350/€1000/£850 for the bag competition
and $500/€350/£300 for the scarf competition.
We will also conduct an interview with the winner, publicizing their design
across the international blogger community, the international fashion &
design press, Front Row Society community members and to the fashion community
in Berlin.
Front Row Society gives €1 of every bag sold to a social project.
Theme:
Located in the less polished end of the city was the empty ware house that
grew old and frail, close to expiration. But it was salvaged by a group of
young, fresh vagabonds with a vision. They revived the crumbling structure and
established a modern space that would unite and inspire. It was reborn as the
Modern Art Gallery. The opening night was stylish and opulent; music playing,
renowned artists speaking, art lovers babbling. However, the walls were bare
and the frames were empty. The young vagabonds called on the city’s creatives
to get to work and display their work in this new space. What would you design
for this space?

In the unlikely event that we cannot produce your pattern the way you
designed it we will communicate with you about alterations. However, we will do
everything we can to ensure that the winning design is accurately produced.
Designs must be original and not have been entered in other competitions. Front
Row Society will select a winner from the ten designs that receive the highest
score.
FRONT ROW SOCIETY
About us
When sitting in the front row, you are given that extra dose of comfort: more
leg room; a better view. You are in the decision-making seat. Our bags reflect
the qualities of front row living. With high-quality material, original design
and efficient delivery we are certain that our bags will be completely, and
utterly, delightful.
The concept of Front Row Society came to life through our understanding of
fashion tête-à-tête. Fresh ideas can come from anywhere and from anyone. It
shouldn’t matter who created them; instead, the idea itself ought to be valued.
Front Row Society is an interactive platform that gives designers from all
backgrounds a chance to showcase their work to the fashion-world. This unique
opportunity allows people to develop their personal style and nurture their
ideas...
And if the fashion-world likes it, Front Row Society will produce it.
Front Row Society’s home city is Berlin. Continuously shaped by the freedom
and dynamism that plunders the streets of Berlin from morning to night, Front
Row Society is very much a consequence of Berlin living. Like the city itself,
Front Row Society is a work unfinished. It is constantly added to and improved
by the ideas and talent of the fashion community. This is what Front Row
Society is and how it will evolve – it will nurtured by you.
We have laid the foundations for something great – we need fresh ideas to
build it.
Born in Berlin, created worldwide.
