The GWAND Festival was founded in 1993, highest endowed fashion prize (150'000 Euros) worldwide. Winners among others: Raf Simons, Haider Ackermann, Lutz Huelle Eleven times the Gwand Fashion Festival took place in Lucerne. Gwand grew from a local event to a Swiss and international hotspot in the fashion scene and in the fashion industry. Always Gwand remained true to its roots: The support of fashion designers. Gwand understands fashion as a reflection of the society and as an industry with a global reach and impact. Under the impression of climate change and worsening social tensions, humanity needs a breakthrough of sustainability in all areas of life. From now on Gwand's mission is the support of sustainable fashion. And Gwand is back under the star of sustainability with the upcoming 12th edition of its festival — where fair and green, big and small stars will shine bright.
