Trashion in Action Competition

The Wildly Creative Trashion in Action Competition is a design contest wherein participants are stimulated to think about societal responsible fashion designs in the fashion industry.

The designs will be judged on creativity and how well it encourages young Malaysians to choose sustainable options within the fashion industry. Design submittals should be uploaded along with the registration form before 31st May 2011. See the competition communication materials, competition guidelines and registration form to enter the competition.

Celebrating fashion in all its glamour and aspirational styling, and drawing from the inspirations of different cultures and nations on the world stage. The passion and the deep–rooted love for fashion are now being complemented with consumers saying “no” to conventional dyes and pesticide-doused fabrics that are harmful and wasteful to the environment. The new currency is to unite everyone’s efforts in switching to recycling clothes, and to use natural alternatives of health and environmental sustainability and still being “fashionably trendy”.

Everyone with a vision on ‘the future of fashion’ can register as an individual or team for the competition up until 31st May 2011. Conditions and more information concerning (enrolment for) the Trashion in Action Competition are as follows:
