ITS-International Talent Support, the platform founded in 2002 to support the young fashion talents, will present through a virtual journey the 2022 calendar: 20th Anniversary of ITS Contest dedicated to students from fashion design schools and ITS Arcademy opening.

ITS Arcademy is a project started in 2019 and conceived as a space blending exposition and learning. The initiative is born from experience of ITS Creative Archive, a unique archive of contemporary Art, a cultural and social-economical resource opening a dialogue with creations/art pieces of yesterday, today and tomorrow. A growing collection, that currently houses 18,000 portfolios, over 325 outfits, 152 accessories, 103 jewelry pieces and over 700 photography projects.

“I hope that we can look back in 10yrs time with a sense of accomplishment and respect for all we have achieved this year: building Arcademy is also our answer to the crisis and changes that bring about renewal”, said Barbara Franchin. “Because under one roof we will converge two decades dedicated to prosperity through creativity. In a situation that remains critical we felt compelled to contribute to one of the most hard hit sectors, and thanks to our partners we can continue supporting young talents to launch in the future.”

During the digital event, which will be held on November 19, 2021 on the facebook, instagram, youtube account of the platform and on www.itsweb.org the winners of ITS contest will be announced. The contest, supported by the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, will award three main prizes, including the Otb Award .In addition to these several other prestigious prizes and awards will be given to the finalists of the fashion RTW, accessories or jewelry collections.
