Young Romanian designer Ioana Ciolacu Miron recently won the fashion design competition Designers for Tomorrow, after her collection impressed members of a jury led by Stella McCartney (both in picture). The 31-year old Romanian who studied at the London College of Fashion was one of the five finalists for this award.

Ioana Miron's collection Paradox was shown in front of an audience of more than 700 guests at the Berlin Fashion Week (one of her creations in picture, below).

“All five finalists came up with fantastic ideas and have a good feeling for where they stand as designers. Ioana is a really big talent with masses of potential, and I hope we’ll be hearing a lot more from her in the future”, commented Stella McCartney.

The Romanian signer said about her collection: “I want to give a part of who I am by translating my personal experiences into visual realities with the help of my designs. This will be intuitively grasped by the women who wear my creations.“

The young designer won support from Peek & Cloppenburg Duesseldorf and Fashion ID, which will be closely accompanying the development of the young designer’s career until next spring, and offer her a studio, financial backing for her next collection. She will also have her own fashion show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin in January 2014. Ioana Ciolacu Miron will also take part in Stella McCartney's fashion show in Paris.
