UP-AND-COMING DESIGNERS JUMP STARTING THEIR JOURNEY IN RETAIL

UP-AND-COMING DESIGNERS JUMP STARTING THEIR JOURNEY IN RETAIL

Meet the next generation of Australian design talent through The New Breed Scholarship – a program that shines a spotlight on emerging brands ready to take their first big step into wholesale.

Each year, one rising designer is awarded a prize package worth over $10,000, including their very own stand at Life Instyle Sydney 2026. It’s your chance to discover fresh creativity and innovation from the next big name in the industry.

The winner is selected by an expert panel based on creativity, innovation, market readiness, product quality, and presentation – with support from our inspiring scholarship partners, thelotco and The Life Style Edit.
