Up and coming fashion designers in New Zealand have the chance to boost their careers to the tune of NZ$10,000 in sponsorship prize money.
Italian brewer Peroni is giving away the cash to celebrate the launch of Peroni Leggera, a low carb, low alcohol version of the classic Italian beer.
The first annual Lighter Side of Italian Style Fashion Design competition is open to designers aged 20 or over. Entrants can be in their last year of tertiary fashion study or a graduate of up to five years.
The brief is to submit a sketch and working drawings of a unique design inspired by the Peroni Leggera colour palette and the concept of “Lighter Side of Italian Style.”
A panel of industry judges will commission five entrants to turn their sketch into real garments, and these finalists will be flown to Auckland and present their designs at an event in late August, where the winner will be announced.
Entries opened on July 1, so if you’re keen to submit a design, head here.
