The International Premier Design Contest Redefining Fashion With AI

Make Fashion History. Change Your Future.

Recognition. Mentorship. Runway. Impact.

We’re inviting ALL fashion designers, artists, and visionaries from every background, ethnicity, gender or age to shape the future of fashion, using AI as your co-creator. From concept to campaign, digital sketch to physical runway to retail, this is your chance to turn bold ideas into cultural moments.

Two Paths. One Global Runway.

We believe breakthrough talent comes from everywhere, not just resumes. That’s why we’re running two award tracks, so every entry has a real opportunity to walk the runway.

  • Round 1: Qualifying Round

  • Round 2: Professionals advance to the
    AI Fashion Awards Semi-Finalist Round

    New and rising creators are considered for the
    Emerging Designer Awards

Whether you’re a seasoned designer or a first-time innovator, your collection could earn a place among the world’s most daring new voices in AI fashion.

Finalist Debut & Global Showcase

Finalists will debut their collections in a live, Project Runway–style event, where an international panel of judges will select and present the winners live on stage.

The show will be streamed globally from Phuket to New York, Paris, Milan, London, and more and broadcast inside the SHE IS AI Metaverse Fashion Arena, bringing your work to audiences worldwide.

Winning designs will be:

  • Professionally produced and sold via the SHE IS AI Fashion Store and retail partners

  • Featured in SHE IS AI Magazine™

  • and so much more …

A Living Case Study in Fashion History

Built for the Future. Powered by Inclusion.

SHE IS AI™ is an international ecosystem for ethical, inclusive Artificial Intelligence advancement. We're creating space for women, underrepresented creators and emerging talent to lead in design, technology, and cultural innovation.
