Driehaus Design Initiative

It is with sincere regret we announce that Driehaus Design Initiative founder Richard H. Driehaus passed away on March 9 of natural causes at the age of 78. As we honor his memory, we pay tribute to his efforts to support fashion in Chicago.

As DDI will not host a fashion competition in 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic, please stay tuned for future announcements on this website and on our social media pages on Facebook and Instagram.

Driehaus Design Initiative, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was established to promote and encourage design education and to foster public appreciation and understanding of all aspects of fashion design and history. Driehaus Design Initiative contributes proceeds from the Driehaus Awards for Fashion Excellence to support fashion and design endeavors in Chicago.
