Last year Shanghai-based designer Uma Wang picked up an Audi award, but this year it was Roderic Wong who received the Audi Young Designer Award in May of 2012 (in Singapore by the way). Each year, Audi presents the award to a designer whose creations “embody the Audi spirit of innovation, technology and progression.” Wong came up with his collection in less than a month, or so rumor has it, sticking to minimalist design, clean lines and his self-developed (yes, indeed) fabric. In addition to impressing the Audi-based judges, David Wang, VP of the Singapore Textile & Fashion Federation, told Jingdaily.com that Wong’s collection “exuded sophistication and looked international.” Point taken, it does have somewhat of a 1990s CK vibe. Let’s see how he uses his SGD $10,000 (roughly US$8,000) in cash prize money for his next collection. (If he can find the time for his own design; his other prizes include an internship with fashion retailer FC Benjamin, among other things.)
