Ambassador Jane D. Hartley said: " It was a pleasure to host this event showcasing what an ancient material like leather can do in the hands of talented and creative designers. As a firm believer in slow and sustainable fashion, I believe it's essential we use – and reuse – materials like real leather that help reduce our waste and support vital industries. My thanks to all who made it possible, and congratulations again to our winners."

Kerry Brozyna, President, Leather & Hide Council of America , commented: "Real Leather. Stay Different. celebrates the next generation of design talent. It underscores the importance of using natural materials, such as leather, which is not only a by-product but also a sustainable, durable and versatile. These young designers show the way forward by focusing on sustainable solutions that stand the test of time."

Christopher Koerber added: "The talent on show has been outstanding. Real Leather. Stay Different. plays an important role in showcasing and elevating young designers who are embracing leather as a material to create innovative designs, to global audience."
