Australia and New Zealand’s remarkable design talent is hot global fashion property, with up-and-coming designers now recognised and sought out in all the major fashion hubs around the world: Milan, Paris, London, New York and beyond!

The Fashiontv Online Designer Awards is an exciting new concept with a focus on providing emerging designers in Australia and New Zealand with a significant stepping stone to Local and International recognition. The Fashiontv Online Designer Awards consist of 3 categories:

• Swim/Resort wear
• Evening/Couture
• Lifestyle Collections

Preliminary judging will begin July 5th. From the preliminary round 20 contenders will be chosen by a panel of industry experts in media and fashion. Ratings from the website will be taken into consideration by the panel. Once notified, the 20 finalists must send their garments in for final judging by July 9th.

The winners will be judged between July 9th to 14th by some of the most savvy fashion industry experts Australia has produced. Judges include Vanessa Rochman, Dhav Naidu, and Aaron O’Donnell. As CEO of Fashiontv for the Oceania region, Aaron O'Donnell produces content taken to the corners of the fashion world and will advance another step closer to taking Australian and NZ talent, fashion and brands to the rest of the world.

The winners will be announced July 19th.

The winners will enjoy a prize pool designed to provide national and international exposure and industry experience to fast track a designers career. Take your time to view the prizes and see how winning will bring you a major step closer to achieving your dream of becoming a world renowned designer.
