two ied alumni HAVE PRODUCED THE FIRST SERIES BY ZEROCALCARE
The first animated series by the famous Italian cartoonist Zerocalcare, currently available on Netflix, has been produced by Movimenti Productions animation studio, founded by IED Alumni Giorgio Scorza and Davide Rosio with BAO Publishing.

ITOR GOIKOETXEA WINS THE ITS RESPONSIBLE CREATIVITY AWARD
Former student Aitor Goikoetxea won the ITS Responsible Creativity Award powered by Allianz in the latest edition of the International Talent Support 2021 - ITS Contest 2021. The IED Barcelona Alumnus was awarded thanks to its final thesis project, in the scope of the course in Fashion Design. The "Aitarekin Afaltzen" collection, which is also for the designer a journey into past memories, also linked to the figure of the deceased father, highlights traditional and manual work processes, such as the creation of fabrics from scratch, knitting or embroidery. The very vivid color palette instead symbolises the commitment to a positive outlook on life. Finally, the overlapping of garments, shirts made from napkins, trousers-skirts made from tablecloths or prints made with photographs of family scenes stand out in Aitor's work.
