iD Show 2023 Call for Designers & iD Awards Entries Now Open

iD Dunedin Fashion Show Call for Designers

iD Fashion welcomes Dunedin based designers (or those with a Dunedin connection) to submit images of a collection to be considered for participation in the iD Show 2023, to take place on Saturday 1 April at the Dunedin Railway Station. Designers must be producing directional, commercial and sustainable adult fashion.

Diversity and shape inclusivity in fashion will be celebrated for iD Dunedin 2023. To that end, iD encourages applications from designers who can accommodate diverse models on the catwalk.

For 2023 iD has received funding from the Russell Henderson Charitable Trust to support a Central Otago section in the iD Show. iD welcomes designers based in Central Otago to submit their collections for participation in this section.

Entry details are available on the iD website https://www.idfashion.co.nz/id-show-entry

The iD International Emerging Designer Awards 2023, sponsored by Otago Polytechnic, is a vibrant celebration of emerging and established fashion design talent, with hundreds of emerging designers submitting their entries from all over the globe to be part of Australasia's only international rising designer competition.

There are no design restrictions, sections or specifications for collections, other than an emphasis on innovation, creativity, quality and sustainability.

Entries for the iD Awards 2023 are now open. More information and the entry form is available on the iD website https://www.idfashion.co.nz/entry-form
