SHEIN X has returned with a new online competition supported by the Graduate Fashion Foundation and in association with media partner Hello! Fashion.
Aimed at supporting emerging fashion design talent, the competition is open to all budding designers from Europe, with the chance to win an incredible prize: €10,000 to set up their label, the opportunity to sign with SHEIN to showcase their creative concept globally on the SHEIN website plus an exclusive invitation to showcase their designs at the SHEIN X Fashion Show in Paris, June 2023.
SHEIN is a global e-retailer of fashion, beauty and lifestyle products. Over the last two years, it has invested more than $55m into its flagship incubator program, SHEIN X, to empower nearly 3,000 aspiring designers and artists from more than 20 countries, supporting them in their journey to launch their own fashion collections to global audiences.

To enter, designers are invited to submit three full-look designs which will be judged by the panel and narrowed down to a shortlist of 20 entrants, who will then be put to a public vote via the SHEIN website to decide upon the final 10. These 10 designers will go through to the next round, where the expert judges will decide the winner.
Aligning with the two-year anniversary of the SHEIN X programme, the competition is running on SHEIN’s European website from January to March 2023 and will come to a close with the winner and runners-up unveiling their designs at a celebratory showcase in June.
