For the first time in the 16-year history of the iD International Emerging Design Awards, the winners were named at a show they were unable to attend. A film highlighting the 32 finalists was premiered at an event held at Otago Polytechnic last night, before the winners were revealed. Models show off outfits designed by iD International Emerging Design Award finalists at the awards ceremony last night. Ms Carlson said although designs were submitted before the global Covid-19 pandemic, finalists’ fashion reflected their observations on challenges faced by the world. Due to Covid-19, the iD Dunedin Board Inc will host the 2021 awards online again, with an associated live performance.
