And this competition is practical oriented, without a unified theme, the core goal is to let the design solve individual customers' individual problems.

The organizers recruited 4 disabled people who were paralyzed by spinal injuries and assigned them to 4 groups of competitors.

Players need to design competition products according to the actual demands of the assigned customers.

This is the first time such a competition system has been adopted since the competition was held in 2014.

"We finally choose the winners according to the universal value of clothes, because if your clothes can only be worn by the disabled, this is another kind of exclusivity."

Jun explains.

In his view, although 15% of the disabled people in the world need to buy clothes that can meet their special needs, the market size is not small. But if the brand is just staring at the group, designing is still of no significance.
