Brit Wins Triumph Inspiration Award ’09
On the opening night of the 2009 Milan Fashion Week, fashion design students from 28 countries and regions around the world presented their lingerie showpieces at the grand final of the Triumph Inspiration Award ’09 in a fabulous catwalk show in the famous design museum, La Triennale. A celebrity expert judging panel, consisting of two-time Academy Award winning actress Hilary Swank, Editor in Chief of Vogue Italy Franca Sozzani, Hongkong’s international model Qi Qi, legendary fashion photographer Giovanni Gastel, co-founder and creative director of the fashion label Miss Sixty Wichy Hassan and Jan Rosenberg, Head of Global Sales and Marketing Triumph International, decided which design piece is the most creative interpretation of this year’s award motto “Icons”.
James Nolan, 20, Great Britain, convinced the jury with the interpretation of the icon "Odette and Odile" to become the winner of the Triumph Inspiration Award ’09 and will pocket not only a cash prize of Euro 15,000 but also a career-boosting limited edition of the winning piece. James will see the showpiece adapted and interpreted by the Triumph design team, leading to series production of the set which will be sold in selected Triumph stores worldwide in 2010.
