Neste's fashion design challenge for the next generation of designers

Fashion Forward Design Challenge is organized together by Neste and Elle magazine. The purpose of the challenge is to create a new and fresh clothing collection for Neste and, possibly, to find a promising next generation's fashion designer.

The challenge is an invitation to design sets of clothes for the Neste personnel, both for official and more casual events, such as exhibitions.  Neste's vision is to build sustainable options, every day. The company is the world's leading manufacturer of renewable diesel and utilizer of renewable raw materials.

"We also want our PR clothing to strengthen our company's vision so that the newly designed clothes utilize recycled or renewable materials where possible. This year, we have upgraded our event concept and are now finishing it with new brand clothing. At the same time, we want to offer young designers an opportunity to move forward and attain visibility, even on an international level," says Sirpa Tuomi, marketing director at Neste.

The winner will be selected by a jury consisting of Sirpa Tuomi; Taru Marjamaa, editor-in-chief of Elle magazine; fashion designer Katri Niskanen; and fashion blogger Natalia Oona. The competition starts on 14 December 2015 and ends on 31 January 2016.
