The winner and finalists of the SHEIN X Global Challenge 2024 walked the runway on 19 September, 2024, alongside their finished creations, at SHEIN Singapore’s Annual Reception, celebrating their creativity, talent and achievements.
Participants in this year’s SHEIN X Global Challenge had to submit three complete Spring Summer 2024 women’s looks based on the theme, “Radiance”.
The winner, Eleonora Falcone (IT), alongside finalists, Amanda Marques Parron (BR), Juliana Cavalcanti de Siqueira (BR), Yolanda Silveira Fernandes (BR), Annavittoria Palma (IT), Émilie Kissita (FR), Frenki Ceko (AL), Fungai Sarah Muzoroza (UK), Kevon Albright (US) and Yuto Nomura (JP), beat out almost 1,000 submissions from across more than 70 countries, to make it to the runway in Singapore.
“This has been an amazing experience and still feels unreal! To see my winning design come to life and on the runway at SHEIN’s annual reception in tropical Singapore represents the highest achievement of this unexpected and intense journey,” said Eleonora Falcone, winner of the SHEIN X Global Challenge 2024. “Now, as a fully-fledged SHEIN X designer, I really look forward to building a truly commercial collection for SHEIN customers around the world!”
The runway was conceptualised by creative director Daniel Boey, nicknamed the ‘Godfather of Singapore’s Fashion’, and will feature eight models who are breast cancer survivors.
“The SHEIN X Global Challenge highlights SHEIN’s commitment to the amazing designers of the world, accelerating their journey towards building their own global brand. The 2024 winner and finalists competed on a truly global stage and emerged victorious. We are very proud of how far they’ve come. The future of fashion is all the brighter because they took the first step through the SHEIN X Global Challenge,” said Leonard Lin, President of EMEA; Global Head of Public Affairs; General Manager of Singapore, SHEIN.
Alongside the SHEIN X Global Challenge creations, the runway will also feature the latest SHEIN X collections from Alice McCall (AUS), MAALAVIDAA (CA), GAWX (MX), ISELACOS (MX), SV Pattern Studio (ES), Deniz Iseri (TR) and Duchess Plum (UK).
On the same runway, SHEIN X provides a sneak peek of the two brand new collections in collaboration with the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, University of the Arts Singapore, in support of the Breast Cancer Foundation (BCF) and Dress for Success Singapore (DFSS). These collections are set to launch in October 2024. The SHEIN X NAFA X BCF capsule collection is designed to celebrate the courage and resilience of breast cancer survivors. The collection supports BCF’s mission of promoting breast cancer awareness in Singapore and providing the necessary psychosocial support to those affected by this illness, while the SHEIN X NAFA X DFSS capsule collection offers professional yet affordable outfits to help women radiate confidence and present their best selves, whether at a job interview or their daily lives.
