The FASHICON competition consists of monthly styling challenges, which are free for everyone to join who feel confortable to present their styling ideas on our runway. The top 3 scored of each month’s challenge are eligible to compete in the FASHICON 2020 Grand Finale on August 1st, 2020, to become FASHICON of the year.
The January Challenge
For the first challenge of this new decade we are going to blur the lines of the gender conformity which defined us in the past. That’s right, we want to see your androgyne light shine. Androgyny is the theme for the January challenge in the FASHICON 2020 competition. This isn’t calling for the boys to slap on a pair of Tangos and stuff them into a sweetheart neckline. Just strut your usual stunning high fashion selves but skate that inexplicable razor edge that makes us look closer, and wonder on what side of the spectrum this beautiful human being identifies. Be inspired by but don’t copy icons such as Prince, Annie Lennox, Brian Molko, Tilda Swinton, David Bowie or Grace Jones. Study the work of modern gender fluid models such as Andreja Pejic, David Chiang, Tamy Glauser, Erika Linder, Lemuel Huffman and Rain Dove. Ambiguity is your brief for this challenge, and we are looking for it.
