The annual search for the Men’s Folio Designer of the Year is back, and this year we want you to #ShareYourSin. In conjunction with our 21st anniversary and The Vice Issue, we are providing a platform for the most promising young menswear designers to showcase their killer works, both in Men’s Folio and at our SIN CITY anniversary party in October 2018. The top three finalists will also walk away with attractive prizes.
We’re officially open for submissions, and here is how you can enter to become the next Men’s Folio Designer of the Year. We encourage all contestants to read the guidelines carefully.
Entrants must be between 18 to 35 years old. Contestants will be required to submit three sketches of original menswear looks, never before showcased to the public, complete with footwear and accessories, along with a mood board of the inspiration behind the collection.
Design Brief
The sketches are to be inspired by the Seven Sins, where designers will present their take on ONE of the cardinal vices (Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride) through a menswear collection, with looks that are wearable and commercially-viable. And remember, the devil is in the details!
