|
After a thorough and thoughtful review process, we are excited to announce the seven finalists of the 2026 eugenie Designer Grant. This year marked our largest and most competitive applicant pool to date, with finalists selected based on design, quality, impact, and feasibility.
These Detroit-based designers are pushing the boundaries of sustainable fashion, exploring innovative materials and crafting thoughtful, future-focused collections.
In partnership with Song United, this year’s grant has been expanded to $20,000 in total funding, awarded across three Detroit-based designers or brands focused on environmental and social sustainability. The first-place recipient will also receive professional mentorship from our panel of industry leaders.
Our three 2026 recipients will be announced by the end of April.
