Solstudio Textile Group, the Russian Union of Entrepreneurs of Textile and Light Industry SOYUZLEGPROM and INTERFABRIC expo announce the seventh International competition for textile designers Textile Design Talents.
In 2023, designers from 16 countries took part in the competition, and the jury evaluated the works of 330 participants.
The competition is supported by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade.
The main goal of the Textile Design Talents competition is to support talented textile designers, attract the attention of the professional community to them and help them realize their abilities in the industry.
Alexandra Kaloshina, founder of Solstudio Textile Group, member of the jury: “Competitive drawing is free self-expression, an opportunity to explore the depth of your own imagination. Artificial intelligence can become an assistant for creating a composition, for developing unusual details and color combinations, but not the main tool. We believe that the competition was created for you, real people, and for not software products.”
The works will be evaluated by a professional jury, consisting of leading Russian specialists in the fashion and textile design industry.
