Supima, the cashmere of cotton, is taking its next design competition for emerging talent online. The non-profit organization that promotes the use of US-grown American Pima cotton around the world, will hold 13th edition of its annual Supima Cotton Design Competition.
The virtual presentation, which will be simulcast on Instagram Live leveraging a mix of pre- recorded and live video content, will take place in September to align with New York Fashion Week.
The competition supports emerging talent by enlisting student designers from the nation’s top fashion schools to create capsule collections using Supima cotton fabrics. These will be presented in a collective digital runway show and evaluated by a panel of judges. The winner of the competition will receive $10,000 cash prize and industry recognition. Moreover, inalists of the Festival de Hyères will be given the chance to present one look in Supima.
