Creative Direction

Isla de Crear is a creative centre, combining a range of disciplines, to explore creating
and crafting in a new method, away from commercial constraints or industry
guidelines, based on the principles of the Fantasism manifesto.

The centre is located in Úbeda, in the Jaén region of Andalusia, southern Spain,
where the sun is out 300 days of the year, in the middle of the Sea of Olives, with no
neighbours for miles, just outside Úbeda, a UNESCO world heritage site and home to
a buzzing community of artisan craftspeople and many cultural events.

The residency call out
For our new call-out, we are looking for artists, craftspeople, thinkers and creatives
from all different fields to explore the theme:

The French Fashion Awards: Season 2 celebrates design excellence in the global fashion industry, honouring designers worldwide who are actively seeing fashion as more than fabric and thread, but as a canvas for innovation, a statement of style, and a reflection of cultural evolution.

In search of fashion visionaries, the competition exhibits dedication in recognising fashion designers, icons, creative professionals, or emerging talents globally who are eager to showcase their latest collections and avant-garde pieces to a global audience, who dare to chart new territories in design, challenge the environment as trendsetters, and exhibit a fearless approach to fashion.
