Zee (the contest only provides winner’s online name) from Taiwan takes this year’s Grand Prix, highlighting Marvel superheroes’ uniforms. He said in a press release, “I was thinking about the common ground of humour in Marvel movies and the UNIQLO brand while I was creating this design. I hope everyone enjoys my interpretation.”
