That two of ISKO I-SKOOL™ 7winners and finalists were part of this important event is proof of thesignificant role the contest –developed and supported by ISKO –plays in nurturing and championing  talent  and  creativity.  This  edition’s  main  concept  was world’s  citizenship, with the Creative  Theme“North,  East,  South,  West –connected  by  one  planet”.  The twenty shortlisted finalists were asked to dig into their roots and to approach different cultures, defining and tracking down the geography of the world connecting them through responsibility. In addition to exploring the planet both locallyand globally, theywere also required to take into account the product life cycle of their outfits –featuring a 5-pocket jeans to interpret their view on the “local” concept and two Denim Show Piecesto reflect their worldwide influences and topics of interest. These were made with top ISKO™ denim fabrics, meeting the designers’ needs and providing a strong sustainable ingredient.

“We are really proud that two of our winners made it to GFF, with which we have many values in common –it marks another important step in their journey” said ISKO Senior Executive ISKO I-SKOOL™ ProjectIrem Orhun. “All of this goes to show how ISKO I-SKOOL™ plays a fundamental role in providing the foundation to enter the industry more aware of your skills and capabilities.”
