" Every designer should take the chance and submit the application to ITS, no matter what type of collection somebody has. It does no harm, it does not take much time, it is very easy and it could result in a life changing experience. Everybody should give it a try because everybody has the same chance to get selected as a finalist and thus experience an amazing weekend full of surprises, new possibilities and talented and friendly people.
First of all, ITS does mean family to me. I have heard about the ITS family before I got selected, but I did not know what it meant until I became part of it. It is a group of creative, talented and extraordinary people that you get to know during the event in Trieste, a group of people that stick together, support each other in whatever way they can and that will be an important part of your professional as well as of your personal life. As a result, ITS does mean the exchange of creativity and ideas among very different fields to me. Moreover, it does open doors to new possibilities, to the fashion industry and to important people by promoting every designer in a very clear, impressive and supportive way. Regarding the fashion system, ITS draws its attention to new, fresh and special talents from all over the world with different backgrounds and skills and points out their innovative ways of thinking, as a consequence, up to a certain point, the fashion system has to adapt to those new talents and their creativity.
