Request for submissions
European fashion and design schools are invited to exhibit their works in the Einblick (insight) Project within the framework of ispovision – International Trade Show for Sports Style – from July 3 to 5, 2005. This will give you the opportunity to provide the approximately 55,000 trade visitors and more than 2,000 international journalists at ispo with an insight into your abilities as well as have your first experiences and make contacts at an international trade fair.

Topics and presentation types can be chosen freely. The submissions for Einblick can surprise, provoke or display your own professionalism. Regardless of whether industrial design or fashion design, weather-resistant cycling clothing for fashionable women or social phenomena such as the lack of exercise that many children get or special skills of your own college: the only restriction is that it must be within the framework of ispovision - International Trade Show for Sports Style. A concise presentation is important.
