Meet the finalists of the 38th edition of the Hyères festival
by Gabriel Córdoba Acosta
It’s non-stop! The world of fashion is advancing and developing at the speed of light. Just after the end of Paris Haute Couture and Men’s Fashion Week, and almost before we have recovered, the communication team of the Hyères International Fashion, Photography and Accessories Festival has announced the finalists of the next edition, which will take place from Thursday 12th to Sunday 15th October 2023 at Villa Noailles.
Everyone who knows a little about fashion knows about this competition, but if anyone still has no idea what it’s all about, we’ll give you a little background. The world-renowned Hyères festival, founded by Jean-Pierre Blanc, serves to promote and support young international fashion designers. And because the industry is not just about design, other disciplines, such as photography, are also honored.
