New Labels Fashion Design Competition Participants Announced

Six young designers have been chosen to headline the Toronto Fashion Incubator's (TFI) Fall 2006 New Labels Fashion Design Competition.

Bev Kidd, Fashion Psychology duo Beryl Bacchus and Patrick Larrivee, Katya Revenko of Desperately Different, D'Mila by designers Liudmila and Gleb Diyachenko, Las Valentias by Erin Keatch, and Karamea by Michelle Turpin are the hand-chosen few that will get their chance to wow Canadian fashion media, buyers and consumers at Hazelton Lanes in Toronto this March 2006.

New Labels Fashion Design Competition is an exciting national design competition offers innovative Canadian fashion designers the chance to shine on stage in a professional, cutting-edge environment.

'This event is a media favourite because of the exciting and undiscovered new talent we unveil on the catwalk,' says award-winning Susan Langdon, TFI's Executive Director.

The designers have one month to prepare for the next stage in the competition and judges will make their choice based on innovation, quality, fit, and marketability of the final collection.
