Society of Dyers and Colourists (SDC) International Design Competition 2023/24

Raffles Fashion Designer Sonpavorapong SASIPIM Wins SDC International Design Competition 2023/24

Raffles Fashion Designer Sonpavorapong SASIPIM, also known as Hunny, took over the baton from fellow schoolmate Verina LIE, winner of Society of Colourists and Dyers (SDC) Award 2023, to win both the Singapore and International awards at this year’s competition.

Besides being the second awards won by Raffles Fashion Designers consecutively, this year’s competition, which took place in York, United Kingdom, also marked SDC’s 140th anniversary and the 100th year of the Colour Index™.

Hunny’s winning design, a ready-to-wear capsule collection for women, was inspired by the theme of symbiosis in nature. The collection stands out for its innovative use of sustainable colour, with dyes extracted from Actinobacteria found in soil. This eco-friendly process adds value to agricultural waste while ensuring that the dyes remain safe for human skin after undergoing an ethanol treatment.

Congratulations to Hunny for your achievement!
