There’s one other key distinction: Yu and her jury (who are meeting virtually at the moment) are specifically looking for designers who see fashion in the context of the world’s most pressing issues, namely climate change. “Fashion today has a wider role and responsibility, and this is something we want to capture through the Prize,” Yu adds. “We are not just looking for designers, we are looking for creators and culture shapers with a strong point of view and impact beyond apparel.
