Already four years of existence and hyper-creativity for WHOSNEXTBLOG.COM! This year, once again, the contest initiated on this highly creative international platform seeks new talents in fashion design and accessories. Just as the Paris trade shows, adopting a completely new identity next January, this young talent contest is undergoing a complete makeover. ARTS THREAD, the web-based community, will also take part in this adventure. From January 21st to 24th 2012, not one but two contests will shed a new light on the most gifted international young fashion designers at Porte de Versailles.
A true talent-spotter, the WHOSNEXTBLOG contest adopts new features in 2012.
The 16 winners will be offered a free booth at the trade show. The four winners will be divided into four categories reflecting the main orientations of this new trade show :
- womenswear
- menswear
- shoes
- fashion accessories
It’s time to demonstrate your boldness and creativity! Designers from all over the world who wish to take part in the event can join the 400 identified fashion designers of the platform and register for free on whosnextblog.com/registration until December 2nd 2011, by submitting a complete file.
They will be invited to the coming edition of WHO’S NEXT Prêt-à-Porter Paris, January 21st – 24th 2012 to present their creations in various areas of the trade show’s four main sectors: PRIVATE (womenswear), Mr. BROWN (menswear), PREMIERE CLASSE (accessories) and MESS AROUND (shoes).
The designers who won the contest last September are invited again at the January trade show : Pola Thomson for womenswear (U.S.), Agnese Narnicka for menswear (Latvia), CA2 Creative for accessories (Italy) and Valérie Rouge for shoes (France).
For the first time, international platform ARTS THREAD joins WHO’S NEXT Prêt-à-Porter Paris and invites some of the young designers it’s supporting to the trade show.
ARTS THREAD works in tight collaboration with a large network of fashion schools around the world.
With its excellent network, ARTS THREAD connects young designers and fashion professionals, no matter their field of action. The platform also features a blog fed by many contributors.
60 of the website’s 80 partner schools and colleges are invited to submit their best graduating student to ARTS THREAD as of now. 10 designers will be selected online by an international jury of journalists, teachers and members of the WHO’S NEXT Prêt-à-Porter Paris team. They will be given the opportunity to exhibit for free on a special lounge, a creative lab, located in the FAME area.
