The selection competition this year had slightly different rules from previous years.
In the past, all one needed to do was to register as a member online, sign up successfully, and then the organizers would send each contestant a number to their email. After filling out the registration form and submitting their personal information along with their design drafts to the organizers, all they had to do was wait for the final judgment.
This year, for some reason, Country Y changed the competition rules at the last minute.
All contestants had to be present at the venue specified by the organizers and were not allowed to bring any tools; the organizers would provide everything required for the competition.
Each industry within the fashion world has its own taboos. For instance, in the case of cosmetics and perfumes, their designers would not mix any other scents on themselves during the creation process.
Because these scents could affect the quality of the product itself.
