VOID is a new global initiative by 1 Granary, developed to support the next generation of fashion designers. Through a series of unique, diverse and memorable events and projects all over the globe, VOID intends to find alternative ways for young designers to coexist with big brands. The initiative aims to question the current dominant design and show structure, and signals to others that there is space and time for an independent designer’s work to exist parallel to official fashion weeks. VOID aspires to contribute to the education of the new creative generation, and assists in realising their potential by introducing them to the industry’s key figures, helping them to receive exposure at an unprecedented scale, encouraging the exploration of presenting their work in different ways, providing a workspace in metropolitan hubs, and creating an international community. The launch of VOID in the winter of 2017 in partnership with The Store Studios in London, CIFF in Copenhagen, Red Hook Labs in New York and Tomorrow in Paris, was a first step to building a solid and effective support platform, while making creative matches that could last a lifetime.
