Mittelmoda International Lab
Mittelmoda is one of the most sought-after and well-known fashion competitions at an international level.
THE PROJECT
Created in 1993, the project has been developing an international network of contacts with over 600 schools of fashion design in 67 countries, thus becoming a concrete chance of exchange and comparison for the young designers’ creativity.
Mittelmoda is also Lab, permanent observatory on the emerging creativity involved and reached by the contest.
The project is non-profit, independent, and for this reason is able to aim at supporting the young designers’ creativity unconditionally, offering a meeting point and a place where to compare ideas, proposals, innovations and creations to the representatives of the leading brands in the fashion design system, to the international mass media, to the specialized public, to the professors, to the graduates in fashion design as well as to the emergent fashion talent.
MISSION
With the aim of transforming the network of Mittelmoda into a permanent observatory and of making more systematic the project of giving value to the creative emerging resources at an international level, in 2000 the Association Mittelmoda International Lab was created in collaboration with Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, Sistema Moda Italia and Camera di Commercio di Gorizia.
Mission and formal instruments of the Lab converge to give life to concrete opportunities of meeting between textile-style-design companies, designers and academies.
Since its very beginning Mittelmoda Lab has become a means of contacts and collaborations between the different actors of the fashion system, through special projects built around fashion brands’ needs, promotional events promoted by category associations and cultural initiatives casting lights on the artistic contamination.
