Discover the finalists of the competition and the jury of experts who will determine the winner

From virtual to real. Feel The Contest, the competition organized by Feel the Yarn, which saw 27 young designers between 22 and 35 years of age compete in creating two knitted outfits with yarns supplied by as many companies associated with the Consorzio Promozione Filati - CPF, goes from digital to physical. After the Facebook group “FTY for New Designers” determined the five young finalist designers online, their collections will be showcased in a special area during the next edition of Pitti Filati, focused on FW 2022-23 trends.

The next step will be the vote of a jury of experts who will determine the overall winner. The young designer will have the opportunity to create a SS22 capsule collection of 12 outfits, entirely Made in Italy and knitwear-focused, which will be showcased in the Feel The Yarn magazine. The jury comprises leading experts in the sector such as Ornella Bignami, creative director of Elementi Moda; Elisabetta Scarpini, Art Director of Feel the Yarn magazine; Chen Lung Chin, designer; Federico Rocca, fashion editor of Vanity Fair, Vittorio Branchizio, Creative Director research of Shima Seiki and Antonio Cristaudo, commercial and development director of Pitti Immagine.
