If you’ve been designing clothes in your garage and longing for your big break, the Australian fashion scene has a new prize just for you. The Launch Your Label competition opened this week in floods of hype – and the prizes alone are causing eyes to bug out. It’s no flash-in-the-pan promotional scheme, but an in-depth prize package designed to provide a business platform – on every level. There’s advertising in Shop Til You Drop magazine, a start-up marketing pack, mentoring, an internet boutique including shipping, and all sorts of other goodies. In other words, all the things a genuine start-up label needs and often can’t afford. The judges are no slouch either. It’s one of the biggest judging panels in competitions in years, with Gail Elliot, Peter Morrissey, Terry Biviano and Glynis Trail-Nash all adding their voices alongside 10 others to pick the winner. The applications open on 15 April, and the winner will be announced in August. It’s open to anybody over 18, but don’t enter unless you’re serious – the judges are looking for “technical skill, design, creativity, business acumen and commitment”. No diva behaviour allowed here. Hopefully the Launch Your Label competition will start the careers of some truly stratospheric Australian talent. As Dion Lee and other young designers have proved, this is a country to watch, and the more resources put into the labels the better. Go to launchyourlabelaustralia.com.au for more details, and tell all your fashionista friends – this is one to watch. READ HERE
