There was a distinct sense of wanting to bring us closer into the designers worlds beyond displaying their clothes.
How did these designers set themselves apart from winners in previous years?
Robert Pattinson and Duran Lantink.

She told us all about the path that led her to create her brand in Stockholm.
We thought she was a very interesting candidate with a lot of potential for development.

I didnt want to be disappointed, I guess, she said.
Can she now envision where she might be next year?
I believe the infrastructure needs to have balance to sustain [itself], she said.
We all wanted each other to do well.
So be true to thyself, to thine own self be true.
Be passionate about what you do, and anything is possible.
Prize or no prize, keep going.
They can all talk so elegantly about their work and where it comes from.
I mean, are you joking me?
Stewart said with a hearty laugh.
Then you might really, really do something.
