Who will be our new designer?

As a Belgian retailer with in-house designers and expertise in creation, we find it important to keep an eye on new talent and offer them a platform. The LolaLiza Fashion School is a competition open to anyone with ambition in the world of fashion.

After a first selection based on their portfolio, 10 candidates get the assignment to design three different dresses that fit the LolaLiza DNA. The participant who was able to convince us the most will see their dresses actually go into production and sale.
