This year the kermesse is inspired by the Future, imagining how will be fashion in 2030, surely more sustainable and respectful of environment and human conditions. This is the leitmotif of the capsule collections we’ll see soon on catwalk.
The 20 young designers partecipating to the fashion contest will have the possibility to win prestigious prizes offered by the GDD’s Main Partners, including us!
The first prize consists in € 2000 offered with the patronage of Azienda Agricola Michele Ruggiero and Comune di San Pietro in Amantea.
The fashion magazine “La Mia Boutique” will select three designers for a special interview and photo shooting, the platform Never Tee Stop will produce the capsule collection of one selected designer, while Bartolotta& Martorana will decide who can partecipate to an international fashion week with also a shooting and Marco Del Ristoro will offer a consulting service for textiles.
