But now for the winners Triumph Inspiration Award 2011:

Third place went to designer from Romania Diana Bobina and her design AVA 1236. Inspired by the Romanian religious art the designer wanted to portray women as saints. Her design is made of removable triangles that can be shuffled to make a new ornament.

Second place went to design of Nurten Yüksel from Turkey. The name of the design Hezarfen was inspired by Hezârfen Ahmed Çelebi who was a female aviator in Istanbul in 17th century.

And the first place was won by one of our favorites Les Fleurs du Mal design by Boglárka Bódis from Hungary. Taking inspiration from Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal Bódis celebrates the whole of the woman’s body without leaving out the parts.
