This year, Triumph the lingerie giant has reached its 125th year. In line with this, Triumph invited young designers around the globe to challenge them and bring out their creativity for the fourth- consecutive Triumph Inspiration Award 2011. With 37 participating countries, the competition is bigger and more diverse than before.



Triumph International Philippines in partnership with School of Fashion and the Arts (SoFa), has geared up for the Triumph Inspiration Award 2011. Ten aspiring students from SoFa were chosen to compete with each other.

The competition was judged by some of fashion and design icons namely Rissa Mananquil,  Amina Aranaz-Alunan and Dong Omaga-Diaz, Ralph Ng, 2008 Triumph Inspiration Award National Winner, and Lorelei de Leon, Head of Sales & Marketing of Triumph International Philippines.
