We are pleased to share that Raffles Fashion Designer ZHUYingwen (Ada) has been awarded national winner of the Society of Dyers and Colourists (SDC) International Design Competition 2024/25, joining past winners from Raffles Design, Vernia LIE in 2022/23 and SONPAVORAPONGSasipim in 2023/24.

(ZHU Yingwen (Ada) received her award from Mr. Dro of Matex,  for SDC Design Competition 2024/25)

The SDC International Design Competition is an esteemed global initiative that invites students to respond to contemporary global challenges through colour-focused, sustainable design. This year’s theme, “Colour for Good: Creativity in Adversity,” called for entries that reflect the role of design in addressing ecological and social crises through innovation, empathy, and purpose.

Her entry, Developed in Light, impressed judges with its creative use of cyanotype printing and thoughtful response to global and emotional adversity. Ada will go on to represent Singapore on the global stage at the international finals this October.

A total of 14 students from Raffles Design submitted entries for this contest, each demonstrating thoughtful engagement with the brief and a commitment to responsible design. We extend our congratulations to all participants and wish Ada continued success as she carries our creative spirit to the international arena.

Another Success by Design!
