Young Fashion Designer
Competition 2021
‘Athleisure’ is a trend that is here to stay. With many brands and designers offering a range of athletic leisurewear alongside their existing collections, businesses are seeing a rise in sales of the comfy, yet stylish, relaxed look.
Alongside this trend, top UK designers are going the extra mile to ensure their collections are sustainable. Whether it be through the use of more sustainable fibres, fabrics and production techniques or recycled fabrics and garments to impactful statements, slogans and design features; they promote a powerful message about sustainability.
It is important that we as young designers, also do our bit!
