KNITTING FOR JULIET. UN HAPPY END PER L’ITALIA, IL CILE E LA TURCHIA.
Oltre 35 giovani creativi provienienti da tutto il mondo (Italia, Russia, Thailandia, Israele, Inghilterra, Cina, India, Canada, Svezia, Lituania, Turchia, Stati Uniti d’america, Iran, Cile) hanno presentato le loro creazioni di alta moda maglieria alla prima edizione di Knitting for Juliet: il primo concorso internazionale completamente dedicato alla maglieria e alle sue molteplici potenzialità espressive.
Il 14 febbraio, la commissione valutatrice presieduta da Kevin Kramp, noto knitwear designer di fama internazionale, ha premiato i primi 3 vincitori:
Elena Mangeli, italiana, si è aggiudicata il primo premio consistente in una borsa di studio pari a 24.000 € che le consentirà di frequentare l’intero corso di specializzazione in knitwerar design.
La seconda classificata è Romy Valderas, cilena, che vince una borsa di studio pari a 16.000 € per frequentare corso di specializzazione in knitwerar design.
Al terzo posto Dorna Gharehghol, turca, che vince una borsa di studio pari a 8.000 euro.
Grande sorpresa al quarto posto che vede un incredibile ex-aequo che premia Elisabetta Negretti (Italia) e Abhiijt Roy (India) con una borsa di studio di 3000 € cad affinché possano decidere di frequentare il medesimo corso.
A tutti gli altri finalsti va un voucher formativo di 1500 €, con la speranza che possa essere un incentivo a proseguire su questa strada.
Alle 15.00 dello stesso giorno, presso l’Arena Museo Opera (AMO) tutti i capi finalisti hanno sfilato assieme ai capi gentilmente offerti da noti brands dalla moda. Un rigraziamento va a tutti gli sponsor (STOLL, SAFIL, B!, MARIO FORONI, FONDAZIONE ARENA DI VERONA E MUSEO AMO) e agli enti che hanno patrocinato l’evento e che hanno creduto nel valore socio edicuativo di un contest capace di creare opportunità formative per i giovani e un maggiore contatto con il mondo del lavoro. In particolar modo, un grazie va all’Assessorato alle Politiche Giovanili e dell’Istruzione, alla Regione Veneto, all’Università Salesiana (IUSVE) e al Consorzio della moda.
Knitting for Juliet prosegue la sua mission alla Sala Birolli – via Macello 17 – mettendo i mostra i capolavori dei migliori finalsiti e dei brand che hanno aderito all’inziativa. Dal 21 febbraio al 20 marzo 2015, eventi, workshop sulla creatività, knitcafe e altro ancora animeranno la sede museale di Verona. L’inaugurazione è per sabato 21 febbraio, alle ore 11.
KNITTING FOR JULIET (ENGLISH VERSION)
A HAPPY END FOR ITALY, CHILE AND TURKEY.
More than 35 young international creatives (from Italy, Russia, Thailand, Israel, England, China, India, Canada, Sweden, Lithuania, Turkey, the USA, Iran and Chile) presented haute couture knitted creations in the first edition of Knitting for Juliet: the only international competition dedicated entirely to every facet of knitwear design.
On February 14, 2015 the Committee – chaired by internationally renowned knitwear designer Kevin Kramp – awarded the first three winners:
Elena Mangeli from Italy won first prize: a scholarship of €24,000 which will allow her to attend an entire 3-year course specialising in knitwear design at Fashion Ground Academy, Verona.
Second place was the Chilean Romy Valderas, who won a scholarship amounting to €16,000 and third place went to Dorna Gharehol from Turkey who won a scholarship of €8,000, both for the same course.
Elisabetta Negretti from Italy and Abhiijt Roy from India were awarded joint fourth place with a grant of €3,000 each which they too could put towards the knitwear design course.
The remaining finalists were awarded with a bonus of €1,500 in the hope that this will inspire them to follow this path.
Following the morning presentation, all the finalists were brought together at the Arena Opera Museum (AMO), showcasing their creations alongside garments donated by well-known fashion brands in a spectacular catwalk show.
Thanks must go to all the sponsors (STOLL, Safil, B !, MARIO FORONI, FOUNDAZIONE ARENA DI VERONA and the AMO MUSEUM ) and to all the institutions that sponsored the event and who believed in the social educational values of this contest which creates opportunities for young people by putting them in contact with the working environment. Special thanks goes to the department for Youth and Education, the Veneto Region, the Salesian University (IUSVE) and the Consortium of Fashion.
Knitting for Juliet continues its mission in the Birolli Hall – via Macello 17, Verona – where the cream of the finalists’ and participating fashion brands’ creations will be exhibited for one month, where from February 21st to March 20th, 2015 there will be events, creativity workshops, knitcafés and much more.
