    Feedback about Fidarts:


    "Collaborating with Fidarts for my Fall Winter 2021 fashion show was very exciting. At a time when we were forced to unveil our collections behind closed doors and deprived of the human warmth that makes our work special, interacting with these artists meant that a precious moment was created, even if at a distance."

    Feedback about Fidarts:


    "I am so happy to have been asked to participate in this year's FIDART'S competition. I have always believed in the art form known as illustration. Despite the fact that the world is so engaged in technology, for my money, nothing beats the artistry, elegance, and beauty of illustration. In recent years, because of the ongoing emphasis on technology, illustration may have been overshadowed, but thanks to the ongoing efforts of FIDA and it's support of the art of illustration and young illustrators worldwide,"

    Feedback about Fidarts:


    "The Nando and Elsa Peretti Foundation, guided by Elsa’s spirit, is proud to support the With Love Halston Foundation's commitment in providing fashion students with the encouragement they need to create and thrive. Just like Halston did back then, transferring his enthusiasm and discipline to Elsa at the beginning of her career as a jewellery designer.


    Congratulations to the talented students, graduates, amateurs and professionals, members of FIDA, for paying homage to Elsa, through their works of art, each embodying in a very personal and unique way her trailblazing vision."
