FROM FIRST IDEA TO GLOBAL RELEASE
Introduce Yourself
Submit a self-introduction in any format — video, text, image, or mixed media. We want to understand your point of view, not force you into a template.
Showcase Your Work
Share a portfolio, sketches, references, a concept deck, or one standout fashion idea. All creative formats are accepted.
Shortlist & Pitch
The strongest submissions are shortlisted and invited to a live video conversation with the QUOYO team to present the capsule direction.
Global Selection
Three designers worldwide are selected per cycle. If you are not chosen, you can return in a future round with a new idea.
Vision Development
Selected designers collaborate with QUOYO to refine the concept, develop premium samples, and shape a market-ready capsule.
Launch, Royalties & Future
The capsule launches under the QUOYO × YOU label. Designers receive royalties on sales and may unlock future collaborations.
