Following celebrated events in London and Milan, the competition now sets its sights on Taipei, underscoring Asias rising prominence as a global hub for innovation and fashion design.

The prestigious final will be hosted at AMBI SPACE ONE, Taiwan’s first intelligent, immersive venue, situated within Taipei’s iconic Taipei 101 skyscraper – which is also the world’s tallest green building. This exceptional location highlights the intersection of technology, creativity, and sustainability at the heart of RLSD’s mission.

Category winners in Apparel, Footwear, Accessories and People’s Choice, alongside the RLSD Taiwan 2025 overall winner, will travel on an all-expenses-paid trip to Taipei. Finalists will present their sustainable leather creations to a distinguished panel of industry experts, including Christopher Koerber (Managing Director, Hugo Boss), Mike Adler (international celebrity stylist), Kora Hsieh (Editor-in-Chief, Harper’s BAZAAR Taiwan), Adrien Roberts (International fashion education consultant) and acclaimed fashion influencer Yu Lee.

Christopher Koerber, Managing Director at Hugo Boss and a longstanding supporter of RLSD, commented, “Supporting the RLSD competition continues to be deeply rewarding. Bringing the 2025 final to Taipei is especially exciting as it provides an extraordinary platform for nurturing young talent and encouraging designers to embrace sustainable natural materials like leather. This initiative is critical, promoting innovation and environmentally responsible practices that are essential for the future of fashion.”

Kerry Brozyna, President of the Leather & Hide Council of America, stated, “In just five short years, RLSD has evolved into a globally recognised initiative, successfully advocating for leather as a sustainable alternative to synthetic materials. Hosting the international final in Taipei marks a new chapter, highlighting our ongoing commitment to industry leadership, innovation and the importance of empowering the next generation of designers. This is just the beginning of our vision – a world where sustainable natural materials are the first choice for designers everywhere.”
