ISKO I-SKOOL™ 5 FINAL CEREMONY: ALL THE WINNERS OF THE 5TH EDITION

The Final Ceremony of ISKO I-SKOOL® 5: a celebration of talent.

ISKO hosted the ISKO I-SKOOL® Final Award Ceremony at Milan’s industrial event space BASE. It was an evening of celebration that brought together young talents, industry key players, insiders, and personalities. The winners of this year’s ISKO I-SKOOL® were revealed: they had a chance to showcase their designs with a high-end fashion show curated in every detail featuring the theme UnDocumented.

 

The Final Awards Ceremony announced and disclosed the names of the winners, celebrated by international experts in fashion, marketing and communication, as well as insiders and personalities.

 

Italian DJ and author Paola Maugeri, known for her epic interviews to rock musicians and her care for the environment, was the perfect choice to present the ceremony and took care of the soundscape during the after-party with a refined selection of UnDocumented-inspired music.

On July 10th and 11th, Design and Marketing juries came together to discuss and decide the winners of this year’s edition.
