LONDON, September 16, 2010 - Last night, Triumph kicked off London Fashion Week with a star studded
catwalk show led by young designers, for the international final of the
Triumph Inspiration Award 2010. The event was hosted by Actor and Dancer Adam
Garcia, and judged by the fashion industry's creme de la creme - Supermodel,
Helena Christensen; Photographer, Rankin; British Fashion Designer, Matthew
Williamson; Actress and Singer Karen Mok; Chair of British Fashion Council
Development Committee, Hilary Riva and Head of Global Brand Management
Triumph, Suzanne McKenna.
The panel declared Nikolay Bojilov from Bulgaria the winner of this
year's global final of the Triumph Inspiration Award with the design
"Morphology".
Despite strong competition from 26 other countries and much deliberation
by the judging panel, Nikolay Bojilov scooped the prize of EUR15,000 and the
phenomenal opportunity to work alongside Triumph's design team in Hong Kong
to turn their winning showpiece into a commercial garment, to be sold as a
limited edition piece in Triumph's stores and selected outlets worldwide from
summer 2011.
The 2nd and 3rd places were awarded to Amaya Carcamo from Spain with
"Wood Sensation" (2nd) and Ludovico Loffreda from Italy with "Memory of
Shape" (3rd); who won EUR10,000 and EUR 5,000 respectively.
This is the third year that Triumph International, one of the world's
leading lingerie and shapewear brands, invited young students from
world-renowned fashion schools to prove their creativity in an international
design contest of the highest calibre.
By interpreting the design theme "Shape Sensation", upcoming talent took
centre stage with their multinational view of shapes and silhouettes. This
year, for the first time, a one-piece design was allowed to be entered
instead of only a two-piece bra and briefs, but the big goal remained the
same: win over the jury with the inspiration and creativity of a unique
showpiece.
