Designer Of the Year 2020
The annual search for the Men’s Folio Designer of the Year is back!

In conjunction with our 23rd anniversary and The Prime Issue, we are providing a platform for the most promising young menswear designers to showcase their works on Men’s Folio.

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 theme “Rebel Rebel”, in which designers will present their take on the theme through a menswear collection, with looks that are wearable and commercially-viable.

 

Sketches Submission
Please submit three sketches of original menswear looks, together with a mood board of the inspiration behind the collection. State clearly the two elements showcased in this collection.

Submissions will close on 31 July 2020, 6 p.m. Shortlisted contestants will have to physically create two out of three of their submitted looks for a second round of judging.

 

Finalists will have to comply with the following conditions:
Entrants must be able to arrange for their three complete outfits to be delivered to the Heart Media office at St Andrew’s Centre, 250 Tanjong Pagar Road, #05-02, Singapore 088541 by no later than 5 p.m. on 30 September 2020.
Decisions made by the selection panel are final. Submissions must be original, and never before shown in public (i.e. at any event, exhibition, retail outlet and public places).

Entrants must not be a member of the teaching staff of any school or organisation that teaches any subject relating to fashion. Entrants must not have full nor partial ownership of any previously established, nor existing fashion brand or label.
