Held in collaboration with Sustainable Fashion Week US and other relevant institutions, the contest celebrates fashion as a catalyst for positive change — empowering emerging talents who design with ethics, circularity, and innovation at heart.

Open to designers from all continents, the competition seeks visionary creators redefining sustainability through eco-conscious materials, regenerative design practices, digital craftsmanship, and transparent production models.

Finalists will be featured across UFS’s international 2026 editions in New York, Paris, and Tbilisi, presenting their work to a global audience of industry leaders, investors, and media both in-person and in the metaverse showcase.

By uniting fashion and purpose, the Sustainable Designers Contest aims to inspire a new creative era — where style meets sustainability, and innovation leads to impact.
