ITS#NINE welcomes Viktor&Rolf (at their first participation) and Nina Nitsche from Maison Martin Margiela among the jurors. Accessories Collection of the Year Sarah Williams will later join forces with fellow accessories finalist Kirsty Ward for an exclusive line of bespoke accessories. The edition is marked by a steampunk concept which characterises the entire setup and communication.
This year ITS went a step beyond, by creating not just a concept, but a confederation: the Confederation of Fantastic Voyagers. They are a bunch of valorous pioneers whose mission is to go where no man has gone before: Astronauts who fly across space, Chrononauts capable of travelling through time and Psychonauts who dare to explore the secret landscapes of the human mind. Retrofuturistic steam-powered vehicles and devices are the arsenal of these individuals, who can blend dreams and technology into effective and unimaginable ways to extend human knowledge. Finalists at ITS#NINE will become Fantastic Voyagers.
