ITS JEWELRY COMPETITION
If there is a field in the fashion world where young talents are almost completely unknown this is certainly JEWELRY. There is an incredible amount of young JEWELRY designers out there - coming from dedicated schools, specialised courses or totally independent - working on their own little productions or hoping to be supported and work for big brands. ITS JEWELRY is meant to highlight the most promising among them and give them the same level of support provided with the fashion, accessories and photography competitions.
SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS is the premium brand for the finest crystal elements manufactured by Swarovski and is the main partner of ITS JEWELRY, providing all jewelry finalists with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS for their collections. 10-15 jewelry designers will be selected for the finals. They will come to Trieste, Italy on 13-14 July 2012 and their jewelry projects will be displayed in a dedicated static exhibition. ITS 2012 will showcase the most interesting and youngest expressions of creativity in the jewelry field.
