Online prejudging of PolyU Fashion Show 2020

 Every year, ITC organizes a graduate fashion show to showcase the talent and creativity of our graduating class of design students and provide them with a rewarding and fulfilling experience. This year, 61 students presented their collection to a pre-judging panel. In the spirit of adaptation during the COVID-19 pandemic, ITC offered prejudging of the collections through an online voting platform, instead of an in-person exhibition, so that the judges could select the finalists for the fashion show in a safe and healthy environment. The Institute of Textiles and Clothing Students' Society (ITCSS) members generously provided their time to upload the design boards, videos and styling photos of the student collections onto the online platform which allowed the judges to review, comment, and cast their votes based on the selection criteria of degree of creativity, level of design skills, ability to problem solve, balancing commercial appeal with artistry, and level of professional competency. A total of 11 internal design staff and 14 external designers/industry leaders made up the judging panel. They completed the online prejudging task between 14-16 June 2020. The judges had only positive comments about the work of the graduating students and the user-friendliness of the online voting system. The following 17 finalists have been selected to showcase their work on the runway of the PolyU Fashion Show 2020.
