Why partner with ITS Contest
Connect with the future of design
ITS Contest gives partners privileged access to an international network of emerging creatives, schools, designers, curators, industry professionals and cultural leaders.
It is a place where new ideas appear before they enter the mainstream: experimental materials, radical aesthetics, sustainable practices, new narratives and fresh ways of imagining fashion.
Support emerging talent
A partnership with ITS Contest is a concrete way to support young designers at a crucial moment in their journey.
Partners help create opportunities, visibility and recognition for the next generation of creative talent, contributing to a platform that has been scouting and nurturing designers for over two decades.
Strengthen your cultural positioning
Becoming a partner means associating your brand with a project recognised for its cultural value, international reach and commitment to creativity.
ITS Contest is part of the wider Fondazione ITS ecosystem, together with ITS Arcademy, Italy’s first museum of contemporary fashion. The works donated by the finalists become part of the ITS Collection, preserving today’s most innovative ideas for future generations.
Join an international creative community
ITS Contest brings together people, institutions and companies that believe creativity is not only an artistic force, but also a driver of social, cultural and economic change.
