Fashion Student Competitions

Fashion competitions provide students with direct access to the industry at a stage when personal style is still being defined. From sustainable textile innovation to ready-to-wear collections shown at graduate fashion weeks, these events are backed by luxury houses, trade associations and textile manufacturers. Prizes frequently include fabric sponsorships, production support, press coverage and internship contracts. Participating means presenting your collection to buyers and editors who can accelerate your career from student to working designer in a single season.

Trusted by 640,000+ students worldwide
