Leona Lewis has teamed up with Talenthouse to launch a competition aimed at young ethical designers in a bid to find the next Stella McCartney. 

“I’m passionate about animal welfare and everything I wear always holds true to this – we want to find the next Stella McCartney out there,” Leona said. “I’m really happy to be teaming up with Talenthouse to make this special competition work. Good luck everybody.”

Budding young designers wishing to participate need to submit ideas for a new stage outfit for Leona to wear. As well as their design getting worldwide exposure, the winner will also bag a $1,500 cash prize.

“I love fashion, creativity and designing my own outfits. I can’t wait to see what people come up with. I think it’s really important to support creative individuals and the future names of tomorrow.”

Two runners up will also be selected and will have their designs showcased on Leona’s website and social media sites, as well as $350 each.

Entries must be received by November 17th, and the winner will be announced on December 1st.
