During the Paris Fashion Week and Premiere Visione the winner of the Maria Luisa Award at ITS#Three showcased his collection
April 05, 2005
Antwerp, 4th of April 2005
To win the Maria Luisa Award was an absolutely great chance and experience for me.
I had my installation at her shop in 38, rue du Mont Thabor from Monday the 28th of February until Saturday the 12th of March (during Paris Fashion Week and Premiere Vision).
I was treated extremely kind by the shop staff, the manager Robin, and Maria Luisa herself.
The shop staff introduced me to any Client, Buyer or Press Person that came into the shop.
I made a lot of contacts and sold my new Autumn/Winter 2005-2006 collection to shops in Japan, London and Antwerp.
I found out that winning an award is a reason for people/press to talk about you, and that is the most important nowadays.
I am still very happy that I have applied to ITS#3 one year ago, that I have invested the time to work for one and a half weeks on my application-portfolio, two month before my graduation, in the most stress-full time ever… but it was worth it!
