The International Youth Design Competition (IYDC) is organised by the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology (BIFT). 

This is a fashion academy which invites talents from all over the world to show their work in Beijing. With this competition you have the chance to win various prices.

Every finalist was assigned an English speaking volunteer, which came in very handy! Everything was taken care of and we received the warmest welcome from the academy. 

The models were chosen for us and after many hours of waiting, working and general rehearsals it was SHOWTIME!

I won the prestigious Outstanding Winner award and got to go home with an extraordinary travel experience, price money and a lot of good memories! 

You can find all my travel experiences in Beijing next to the competition, in this post!
