Coco Song AWARD 2019


 

Coco Song promotes design. Area98 - owner of the exclusive brand in collaboration with the Harim Accademia Euromediterranea - has announced the second edition of the Coco Song Award, an internal competition dedicated to Academy students offering young talent the opportunity of giving their own interpretation of the Coco Collection Song.

 

Known around the world for its inspiration from the Far East and its innovative use of precious materials such as silks, flowers, feathers and other natural inserts that are skilfully rolled into the frame, Coco Song is looking to the future by opening up to new colours, shapes and combinations of materials. And this is the challenge offered to the Harim Accademia Euromediterranea’s students of Fashion Design, Jewellery Design and Accessories and Interior & Product Design: to introduce new creative elements into the collection, starting from those characteristics which have become the crowing glory of the brand, whilst reinterpreting them with maximum freedom of expression. Proposals from the young talents will be destined for the Coco Song sunglasses line.

 

Designs will be evaluated on their ability to combine creative value and innovation with inspiration for the collection’s strongpoints, as well as to the feasibility of the proposal.

 

The Jury - composed of members of the Area98 Executive board, teachers from Harim Academia Euromediterranea, client opticians from the main markets in which Area98 operates together with representatives from the eyewear industry press - will select five finalists, who will be notified by February 23, 2019 at the MIDO eyewear show.

The winning student of the Coco Song Award will be named during Silmo Trade Fair.

 

Waiting to see the five prototypes, the company Area98 invites the talented students to speriment with their creativity. This is a green light for the imagination! 

Good luck to all students from Area98.
