The ITS Contest 2023/24 Catalogue is here!

Established in 2002, ITS Contest stands as a beacon for emerging designers who were - as our 2023/24 edition title states - unequivocally Born to Create. Over the last two decades, this international contest has attracted almost 15,000 fashion accessories, jewellery design talents hailing from more than 80 countries and every continent.

The 16 designers featured in the following pages are the ITS Contest class of 2023/24. Only time will tell if any of them will follow in the footsteps of ITS Contest alumni Demna, Matthieu Blazy or Chopova Lowena, or if they will chart a path in new ways we can only imagine.  

Every single one of them is unique and part of the future catalogue of human achievement in creativity. Their work will be included in the permanent collection of ITS Arcademy - Museum of Art in Fashion, where it will inspire tens of thousands for years to come.
