For the fashion competition we requested them to create new models of facial masks for facing the emergency of Covid-19, that will be realized by the migrant women supported by AIW. The donations will be used for helping the association to provide training programs and opportunities to refugee and migrant women in Modena.
Among all the projects of facial masks that arrived for the fashion contest, all really interesting, we selected 3 models that won the categories for design, inclusivity and feasibility.
