Live Design: "You can hear it in his voice: Fabio Toblini simply loves designing clothes for the stage. This 40 year-old Italian designer, who trained in Milan and moved to New York in 1992, is the winner of the 2008 Irene Sharaff Young Master Award, presented by TDF (www.tdf.org) in recognition of Irene Sharaff's wish to see young designers encouraged on their way to fully acknowledged success and excellence in the field."
