REMIX, THE INTERNATIONAL CONTEST FOR FUTURE FURRIERS
Today, we want to speak about the REMIX contest, a sample that the fur sector is innovating continually. REMIX is a yearly competition organized by IFF (International Fur Federation) for the last 15 years.
During this time, more than 1.000 design students from 25 countries have competed with their imaginative designs made of fur.
This king of events have an important impact on the fur sector. The entry of young talents open up a new way to the improvement. Likewise, these activities are very helpful for all the disgners that are taking place. This contest promote the skills of the contenders and offer them an important media showcase.
In the last edition, the firt place was for Morten Ussing, a danish designer with a degree in MA Womenswear by one of the most rated design universities, the Central Saint Martins of London. Morten Ussing presented a colection that pointed out by its colour shades and textures combination. The election of colourful shades was a risky choice, but the disigner knew how to manage to combine them and the result was amazing. The different designs presented in the contest are far away from the traditional view that often we have about the fur industry.
The 2017 REMIX edition also prized 9 young designers for their great job. The wonderful colections entered the competition are the demostration of the potential of the fur sector. We recommend to visit the contest page and see the final colections.
Anyway, time flies and we are already thinking about the next season. The next “REMIX” edition will take place in Milan during february, being sponsored by VOGUE Talents. PRIETO will be very attentive to the new proposals. We will inform fou!.
