Calling young fashion designers in EU member states to design the official uniform for the EU staff at the World Expo 2025 in Osaka and win a trip to Japan to see their creation come to life.
- The deadline for all submissions is 15 November.
THE COMPETITION: The EU is looking for innovative, sustainable designs that reflect the values of the New European Bauhaus:
- Sustainability
- Aesthetics
- Inclusion
The EU Pavillion’s theme, ‘Nurturing Tomorrow,’ aligns with the Expo’s mission to ‘Design Future Society for Our Lives.’
- In addition to having their design featured at Expo 2025 Osaka — which is expected to attract over 30 million visitors from around the world — the winner will receive a fully funded trip to Osaka and play an instrumental role in overseeing the production of their design.
The purpose of this competition is to provide an opportunity for young European talent across the Union to design a fitting uniform for EU staff members to wear at the pavillion.
- Specifically, the uniform must be in line with the pavillion’s ‘Nurturing Tomorrow’ concept.
- It should also reflect the visual identity and overall brand of the EU while embodying the guiding values of the New European Bauhaus.
Submissions will be judged by notable Japanese designers against specific criteria.
