What does ITS mean to you?
July 30, 2009
It's easy to tell yourself you've done a good job. There's nobody telling you the contrary. You really know you worked well only when you receive positive feedback from the people who participated in what you did. So we thought it would be interesting for us to ask the finalists a very simple question in order to understand their opinion about what we do: "What does ITS mean to you?" The following are the replies of finalists from all the editions of ITS...
Well, for me ITS is and will always be an excellent memory which gives me energy and confidence that I have to keep doing whatever I am doing. It's a very simple statement but it means a lot to me. In simple words, ITS was an eye opener for me in the creative world.

ITS was a chance for us to see what's behind the big curtain of the fashion world. It was like a platform from which we could see ourselves. The platform that made us more confident and the one we could use as a good starting point.

We do not know if ITS is a legacy (someone very dear and close to us said this). What we know is that the words above tell us we have done a good job. It was worth it.
