Welcome to a fashion revolution! Our theme, 'Sustainable Couture', invites you to defy fashion norms, embrace sustainability, and convey the power of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in your designs. Be a beacon of hope and education, sparking silent revolutions through fashion that transcends style. Dare to defy norms! 'Sustainable Couture' is your ticket to reshape fashion.

Key Highlights

• Break Fashion's Chains: This is your chance to rebel against established fashion norms. Tear down conventions, challenge traditions, and redefine style. Embrace the unconventional and breathe life into anti-fashion.

• Sustainability Takes Center Stage: Sustainability isn't just a buzzword; it's your design's core. Integrate eco-friendly materials and let sustainability be the heartbeat of your creations. Your fashion must leave a positive impact on the world.

• The SD Connection: Join a global movement by incorporating two Sustainable Development Goals (SDs) into your designs and runway presentations. Each DG carries a world-changing message; it's your canvas to convey that message.

• Hope and Optimism: Your designs should inspire hope and optimism. Beyond clothing, they should signify a brighter, more sustainable future. Fashion is your tool to drive change and create a better world.

• Educate and Elevate: Beyond the runway, use your platform to raise awareness.

• Educate others about anti-fashion, sustainability, and the SDs. Your designs should speak volumes, igniting conversations and sparking action.

• Be bold, be daring, and be a part of the fashion revolution. See you on the ramp!
