Time for (S) Heroes is an international initiative focused on supporting early-career designers working at the intersection of fashion, costume, art and design. The programme aims to strengthen professional capabilities related to sustainability, digital processes and circular design through a combination of training, mentorship and creative experimentation.
Participants are selected through open calls and take part in residencies, workshops and collaborative activities that encourage interdisciplinary exchange. The programme places emphasis on practical learning, enabling designers to develop concepts that respond to environmental challenges while remaining grounded in creative expression.
A dedicated digital platform provides access to educational resources, expert input and peer networks, supporting the long-term development of participants beyond the duration of the programme. Activities are hosted across different European contexts, offering exposure to diverse production environments and cultural perspectives.
By fostering innovation and collaboration among emerging professionals, Time for (S) Heroes contributes to the evolution of sustainable design practices and supports the integration of circular thinking into the future of fashion and creative industries.
