About the Competition
Every Body Matters
SHEIN and the Singapore Fashion Council (SFC) present the “Every Body Matters” Inclusive Design Fashion Competition, an innovative platform that seeks to empower emerging fashion designers to create collections that celebrate and reflect the diversity of the world we live in.
The competition encourages emerging fashion designers and industry professionals from around the world to challenge conventional notions of beauty and style, by creating designs that embrace every body type and ability. It aims to spotlight the importance of representation, proving that fashion doesn’t have to conform to a single shape, size, or identity - it fits every shape, every size, every identity.
