MEGA Fashion Awards 2024: Official Nominees for Best of the Year Streetwear Designer

By

MEGA recognizes the designers who embody the culture, attitude, and unapologetic style that make streetwear more than just fashion statement

Streetwear doesn’t play by the rules, and neither do these designers. At the MEGA Fashion Awards (MFA) 2024, we’re putting the spotlight on those who’ve redefined the urban landscape with their fearless takes on fashion. Their designs are lived in, and they reflect the streets, the culture, and the attitude that make streetwear what it is.
