CLO Virtual Fashion and Vivienne Westwood Launch Global 3D Design Contest

CLO Virtual Fashion, renowned as a leader in digital garment solutions, has teamed up with the legendary British fashion label Vivienne Westwood to unveil an exciting global design competition titled "CUT, SLASH & CORSET." This innovative contest celebrates the unique heritage and design techniques of Westwood, leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as Epic Games' Unreal Engine and the groundbreaking MetaHuman tools.

The challenge is aimed at inspiring talented digital designers across the globe to push the boundaries of creativity and self-expression. Participants will be tasked with designing a complete digital outfit using CLO or Marvelous Designer software. They must transform traditional elements of Vivienne Westwood's aesthetic – particularly the corset's architectural structure and Tartan geometry – while utilizing the historical “Cut, Slash, Pull” technique that has defined the brand.

Contest Objectives

The central theme revolves around the dynamic tension between innovative design and traditional craftsmanship, pushing participants to reimagine familiar silhouettes into something entirely new through digital mediums. The designers are encouraged to create unique tartan patterns and styles that pay homage to Westwood's legacy while adapting them through advanced tools offered by CLO Virtual Fashion, such as the AI Studio, AI Texture Generator, and AI Pattern Drafter.

To amplify this experience, contestants will visualize their designs in real time using MetaHuman technology, showcasing the possibilities of digitally rendered fashion that seamlessly integrates visual fidelity and creative expression. By submitting their outfits, designers will partake in a collaborative effort that not only preserves the past but also defines the future of digital fashion.

Competition Rewards and Evaluation Criteria

For their creativity and effort, contestants stand a chance to win a total prize pool of $3,500. The prize breakdown includes:

• - 1st Place: $2,000 along with a virtual mentoring session with Vivienne Westwood, including portfolio feedback (1 winner)
• - 2nd Place: $1,000 (1 winner)
• - 3rd Place: $500 (1 winner)

Winning entries will be judged by the Vivienne Westwood 3D and CGI team based on understanding brand identity (40%), creative style and expression (30%), and the completeness and detail of the design (30%).
