As part of the VIII International Scientific and Practical Conference "Topical Issues of Modern Design", which took place on April 9, 2026 at KNUTD, the company "PROMO TEX", the leader in the corporate textile market and a long-term partner of the Faculty of Design of KNUTD, held a competition of clothing sketches "CORPORATE CLOTHES".
The objective of the competition was to solve a practical design task for the development of corporate clothing models for employees of the FORA chain of stores – creating a design for women's and men's clothing intended for use in the internal space of the store, taking into account the requirements of modern retail.
The participants of the Competition – students of the educational programs “Fashion Design” (bachelor’s and master’s) worked in accordance with the company’s brand guide, using corporate colors and style, focusing on the formation of a holistic brand identity. 4 – 6 artistic sketches (2 – 3 for women and men) made in any technique were accepted for consideration. The main requirements were a single style, a modern and professional look, as well as the practicality and functionality of the models. During the work, the participants took into account the conditions of operation of clothing in a retail environment and presented sketches with the development of color solutions and logo placement. The list of items included: a fleece sweater, an apron, a semi-overalls, a jacket, a baker’s suit and hat, a vest, as well as scarves or hats for gastronomy workers.
