The British and the Italians both have a proud tradition of exquisite men's tailoring, so it was no surprise when these two powerhouses decided to combine forces. Last year London's Royal College of Art entered into a partnership with the men's wear brand Brioni, giving students from RCA the chance to spend one week a year undergoing intensive tailoring practice at the Brioni Academy in Penne, Italy. Year one of this program has just wrapped up, culminating in a competition for best interpretation of a menswear classic: the dinner jacket. Four prizes were give out during Milan's Fashion week:

1st Prize - Simon Travers-Spencer

Creativity Prize - Jasper Sinchair Chadprajong

Tailoring prize - Jae Wan Park

Nieman Marcus prize - Louise Loubatieres
