SEED: Student Design Challenge
STYLEWEEK (SWNE) was created with the vision of connecting buyers and the press with emerging design talent. SEED: Student Design Challenge features even earlier work.
STYLEWEEK works directly with universities and colleges to identify the most driven talent to partake in this competition. These students then come together for one show where they are judged by an industry panel of fashion and press professionals.
Showcasing student work is a powerful tool for resourcing new ideas for the future of fashion in the Northeast. It provides students with their first experience of a professional trade runway show and prepares them for what’s to come and how to cultivate their brand in the industry.
