The Vogue Singapore Talent Prize has always been about making room for the next voice. Led by the Vogue Singapore Foundation, the platform was created to uncover emerging storytellers with a strong visual language and a point of view that can move culture forward.
This year, CHARLES & KEITH returns as a partner for the third consecutive year, continuing its support of young creatives working across fashion and the arts. As the homegrown brand marks its 30th anniversary, the partnership reflects a shared belief in giving emerging talent the space to develop their practice and be seen on a wider stage.
“As we mark our 30th anniversary—and our third year partnering with Vogue Singapore Talent Prize, we remain inspired by the diversity of creative voices and perspectives that emerge,” shares Silvia Toffanin, Head of Design (Shoes), CHARLES & KEITH.
In line with Vogue Singapore’s April issue themed Retrofuture, this year’s prompt asks applicants to imagine the world of tomorrow through a lens shaped by the past and propelled by innovation. Applicants are invited to present a distinct visual perspective on the future of fashion and culture, considering the influences that may shape what comes next. Each applicant must submit a visual response to the prompt, along with a 100-word description of their work. The submission can be a new creation or an existing piece of work, as long as it answers the theme and best showcases the applicant’s creative talent.
Following last year’s edition, up to 30 of the top submissions will be showcased on a custom Talent Prize microsite launching on 11 June 2026, highlighting a broader spectrum of Singaporean talent on a global platform. From these 30 submissions, five finalists will be selected to create a brand campaign for Vogue Singapore, featuring CHARLES & KEITH products. The winner will be chosen through a combination of online voting and judging.
