Winner of the uniform design for the European Union at the World Expo 2025

The European Union is preparing to showcase its efforts for a better future at the Expo in Osaka, Japan (13 April – 13 October 2025). As part of this, it has launched a competition for young European talent to design a uniform for the EU pavilion staff that will naturally reflect aesthetics, sustainability and inclusiveness. The winner of the competition for the official uniform design was Tomáš Maliňák, a student of the Fashion Design studio.
