Opening & Award Ceremony and Exhibition

Japan Creative Centre is proud to be holding the '2nd Sustainable Fashion Design Contest' this year after the successful implementation of '1st Sustainable Fashion Design Contest'. The objective of this competition is to create an opportunity for students from Fashion Schools in Singapore and Bunka Fashion School in Tokyo, Japan to exchange and promote ideas on the growing importance of sustainability and responsible design within the Fashion Industry.

Sustainability is very much linked to the Japanese philosophy of MONOZUKURI (craftsmanship). The Japanese craftsmanship has a long tradition of producing things that are environmentally friendly, taking into account the fabric characteristics and the environment and made things that last with minimum wastage.

As we are moving to an era which encourages to protect the environment and to be sustainable in our living style, SUSTAINABLE FASHION is increasingly viable and rapidly gaining popularity. This year, it is combined with Harajuku Fashion and 10 finalists from each country will be exhibiting their garments, TOP 3 winners from each country will visit each country with a sponsored return air tickets. Special award will also be given such as 'Society Dyers of Colourists (SDC) Award', 'Apparel Web Award' as well as the 'People's Choice Award'.
