For decades we’ve been told what’s beautiful, what’s in fashion, and how we should express our individual creativity.
The message was: be you- but, not too much. Be you – but, within our constraints. Be you, - but, show only the aspects of yourself we are comfortable with.
The last two decades have seen a seismic shift in this type of thinking. It’s seen the rise of communities on the fringes of society, making their voices heard. It’s seen an openness to expression that is dictated by whole communities rather than a self-appointed few.
We’ve encouraged and supported our peers in veering off the paths paved by institutions – treading our own, and giving others the freedom to do the same.
Today, there’s room for reimagining expression, one driven by the collective; an individualistic outpouring culminating into an authentic masterpiece, rather than one forced, ill-fitting mould.

This year’s competition redefines what we mean by a trend and shifts the focus to incorporating a collective vision. The competition suggests a trend starts with a vision about the way we see the world and how we express ourselves in that world – and, then becomes significant because of the validation from our community.
