ITS Contest

ITS Contest is where the future of fashion takes the stage.

Established in Trieste in 2002, the ITS Contest is a prestigious international award open to emerging fashion, accessory, and jewellery designers.

Over the last 25 years, it has contributed to launching the careers of visionary creatives who are pushing contemporary fashion forward, whether they are heading renowned brands, working behind the scenes, or running their own brands.

ITS Contest finalists receive financial support and join a network of peers and industry experts that provide mentoring and career opportunities. At the core of the ITS experience lies a Residency in Italy - an invaluable opportunity to learn new skills and make lifelong friendships at the crossroads of Europe. Applications are now open.

Be Loved

BE LOVED are big words spoken softly.
An invitation that finds us anywhere - from the closest gaze to the farthest light.
And in a twinkling, everything changes.
Let it in.
I:C 2027.

As you may know, we've always been committed to showcasing our finalists' work. This year, with the designers' approval, we decided to experiment with generative AI to interpret their work and extend our vision. Let us know what you think - we'd love to hear your opinion on this divisive subject! info@itsweb.org
