This is the core of International Talent Support. Throughout the years it has become an established and world renowned competition.

In the beginning ITS was only a fashion competition and fashion is still a big part of our DNA. It's also the starting point from which the other contest areas were developed.

The launch of the new edition of ITS in December coincides with the opening of enrolment for the fashion competition. The deadline to enrol is the end of March. In April the pre-selections take place and the finalists are selected. The ITS#FASHION finals are in July.

About 20 finalists will be selected to fly to Trieste, Italy in July for a collective fashion show. ITS#SEVEN will be a showcase of the highest expressions of creativity from the most representative schools on the planet.
ITS is a real point of connection between fashion schools and the fashion industry and all of the work placements, internships and special projects granted to the finalists after the event are there to prove it.
We cooperate regularly for work placements with brands like Diesel (of course), Antonio Marras, MaxMara, John Galliano, Armani, Viktor & Rolf, only to mention a few.

i-D magazine, a long time friend of ITS, offers an award to the collection with the most interesting styling, while Maria Luisa, owner of the renowned Maria Luisa boutiques in Paris, confirms her leading role in promoting up and coming designers giving one of the finalists the opportunity to display their collection in her shop windows during Paris Fashion Week.

Brands in the business, like Puntoseta, also offer their support. They will supply all ITS#FASHION finalists at ITS#SEVEN with fabrics to create their final collection. Vertice boutique in Turin has joined our support philosophy as well. A finalist will be chosen to display his/her collection in the shop windows during the important international art fair, "Artissima", held in Turin, Italy in November.

The fashion show hairstyling will be by L’Oréal Professionnel, while the make-up will be offered by Patricia Milton.
