Re Fashioned — a competition for young designers

We are running a competition at the National Library to showcase the creativity, talent and potential of young designers in Scotland.

Young designers recently or currently completing their studies are invited to create an outfit that draws inspiration from 100 years of social, political and cultural change since the end of the First World War.

Shortlisted designs will be displayed in a show in the Library's Boardroom in January. The winner will receive a cash award and a photo-shoot of their design on a model.

The closing date for entries is Thursday 25 October.

Find out more in the fashion competition brief (PDF) (81 KB; 2 pages).
