iD DUNEDIN FASHION

For the first time in the 16 year history of the iD International Emerging Design Awards, the awards winners were named at a show they were unable to attend.

Finalists from 14 countries filmed themselves and their collections on their phones in their bedrooms, apartment building hallways and parks during lockdown. They sent their video to Dunedin and it was edited into a wonderful film by NHNZ. Paradoxically the film provided a very intimate look at the emerging finalists, as viewers got to see them explain their designs, their inspiration and see them in their own environment.

iD International Emerging Designer Awards in partnership with Otago Polytechnic have assembled an unrivalled panel of 16 jurors from five countries. Winners will be announced live at a glamorous event at Otago Polytechnic in Dunedin on Friday 7 August 2020.

iD International Emerging Designer Awards in partnership with Otago Polytechnic is the only young designer show anywhere in the world to accept entries from recent fashion graduates throughout the globe. And this year, it’s going to also be the first to judge and host its awards show online. This is the 16th year the iD Dunedin Fashion Inc. has presented the Awards and this year designs from the 33 finalists from 14 countries will be showcased in an exciting video show produced by international production house, NHNZ.
