About - Koza Young Fashion Designers
Since 1992, the Young Fashion Designers Contest has been held annually to discover new names and new designs for the Turkish fashion industry. This contest plays a leading role in the discovering of young talents, and has been doing so for 17 years.

ITKIB’s traditional Young Fashion Designers Contest is changing its shell: with its new name and concept, KOZA is looking for Young Fashion Designers who will soar.
