Maddalen and Jon Joseba Arakama
And the winner is: Arbe Kirolak. The Premium Window Dresser Award goes to the siblings Maddalen and Jon Joseba Arakama from Legazpi, Spain. More than 2,000 votes were cast online at www.premiumexhibitions.com and on site at F95 The Fashion Store before the October 5 deadline. By a wide margin, the two young Spaniards won.
Maddelen studied architecture there and was employed at two architectural bureaus. Jon Joseba studied electrical engineering and later, over the course of four years, managed two different fashion stores in Bilbao. Today the two of them run the family business Arbe Kirolak, a store for sports fashion. Now they are ready to take on the new challenge of creating an architecture and design bureau together.
In cooperation with the Galeries Lafayette, Premium is giving the two winners the chance – in January 2013, in time for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Berlin – to decorate the windows of this tradition-steeped department store on the legendary Friedrichstraße and enjoy wider public attention. Congrats!
