ABOUT

Who is On Next? Not merely a contest but a true scouting project organized by Altaroma in collaboration with Vogue Italia whose aim is the scouting and promotion of young creative talents on the national and international fashion scene. A contest targeted specifically at those designers who already produce their own Made-in-Italy creations. The winners are judged by a prestigious, international jury consisting of industry members and authoritative players on the domestic market. Dedicated to womens collections, in the clothing and accessories categories, in June, 2009, Pitti Immagine and LUomo Vogue joined forces to extend the opportunity of competition participation to the young designers of mens clothing and accessories.
