Brief
‘What's inside your bag is very secret and precious. The contents of a bag are very personal and can reveal a lot about you. Empty your bag out without changing what's inside, take a picture and amaze me.’
Incentive
A work placement at my studio in Florence, helping to create unique bags and one off pieces for my collection. The winning image may also be used for the invitation to my next fashion week presentation.
