S01 is Wololoom's debut design contest. Independent designers submit an original women's dress; a curated jury and the community select the founding lineup. Winning designs launch on the platform and earn their designer a royalty on every order.
What is S01?
A single, focused brief — a women's dress — open to independent designers worldwide. Submissions are reviewed by a jury, shortlisted, then opened to a public vote. The result is the founding collection Wololoom launches with.
