The 2026 YOUTOPIA Fashion Final brought emerging Chinese designers to the runway
in Shanghai. With professional support from the Shanghai Fashion Designers Association(
SFDA), LABELHOOD and JING’AN FASHION RESIDENCY’s young designer incubation platform,
this year’s programme centred on youth creativity and design practice. Runway presentations,
professional judging and special showcases gave young designers and creatives a 
platform to present their work and exchange ideas.

Following evaluation by the professional jury and a public vote, Zhangchong Feng
received "YOUTOPIA Star of the Year" and "YOUTOPIA Spotlight" and Zixin Wang received
the "JORDAN x YOUTOPIA Special Award."

The Fashion Final continues to receive support from across the industry, brands 
and platforms. As a professional support partner, the Shanghai Fashion Designers
Association (SFDA) provides young designers with mentorship, industry connections
and platform exposure. Moncler continues to provide prizes for two Fashion Final
awards. As the exclusive platform partner, Douyin helps bring young creativity to
a wider audience, with content performance on the platform also taken into account
in the selection of the "YOUTOPIA Spotlight" award.

Support for young creatives extends beyond the awards. Through the incubation programme
at JING’AN FASHION RESIDENCY, which supports emerging design talent and original
Chinese brands, the Fashion Final’s overall winner will receive workspace, professional
guidance, opportunities to showcase their work, industry exchange and brand development
resources—providing ongoing support for their creative practice and brand growth.

Beyond the 2026 Fashion Final, the stories of young creatives continue to unfold
as they take their work into new creative practices and industry opportunities.
