My Own Show 2012
24 – 27 February, 2012 / 9.00 am – 6.30 pm
Fieramilanocity / Gate 5 Viale Scarampo
From 24 to 27 February, the curtain goes up on the latest edition of My Own Show, this year and for the very first time in the framework of MI Milano Prêt-à-Porter, the fair that showcases Italian fashion and up-and-coming new designers.
First launched in 2006, My Own Show is the international competition devised and organised by the Istituto Europeo di Design and co-ordinated by Franca Sozzani – editor of Vogue Italia magazine and Academic Director of IED Moda. Every year, this competition selects the best newly-graduated students from the fashion courses in the IED network and brings them and their designs to début at Milano Moda Donna.
This year’s winners in the Fashion Design category are Sante Bozzo, Vincenzo Lattanzio and Inés Vilagut, from the IED schools in Rome, Milan and Barcelona. They are flanked by Francesca Lancia, winner of the Fashion Stylist category, who has just taken her diploma in Fashion Communication at the IED in Rome. Sante, Vincenzo, Inés and Francesca were chosen by a jury of experts in their field, chaired by Franca Sozzani, for the creativity and interdisciplinarity of their designs, for the research work done, combined with the finesse of the resulting elaborations, and for the marked coherence of their designs.
In the space devoted to the Mipap+ project, the area at MI Milano Prêt-à-Porter reserved for illustrating cases of synergy between creativity and industry, IED is presenting three capsule collections produced with the assistance of two prestigious Italian fashion houses: Falber-Moschillo and the Valentino Fashion Group. Both have been demonstrating their belief in the My Own Show project for years, flanking the young stylists and supporting them in making up their outfits. Just like Vogue.it, which continues its tradition of partnering with the winner in the Fashion Stylist category, supporting her as she creates her own publication project.
My Own Show makes a strong statement about the IED Network. This is where students from different countries, cultures and nationalities get the chance to meet, compare their experiences and working methods and get the measure of the market as they promote their ideas and talents.
