New York, London, Milan, Paris, Tokyo…We’ve just finished looking at the schedules of the fashion weeks as well as researching all side-events and showrooms that will take place, and the number of ITS finalists involved is striking, yet another confirmation that ITS discovers the talents of tomorrow. There is so much happening in this period with the young talents we’ve discovered in nine years that it’s really better to quit this introduction and start listing…There sure are a few finalists’ presentations we did not know of. Apologies if it looks a bit “schematic”, but it’s meant to be practical for you to check it out and see how many of our talents were involved! This is just the first part on New York and London. Stay tuned for a report on Milan, Paris, Tokyo and for other news about ITS finalists!
