LVMH Young Fashion Designers Prize!
by Adriano Batista
LVMH and its brands have always actively nourished creative talent. Guided by this vision, the Group has launched the LVMH Young Fashion Designer Prize. Open to designers under 40 years old who have created at least two women’s or men’s ready-to-wear collections, the LVMH Prize is a groundbreaking award in terms of its concept, content and international scope.
Applications will be accepted beginning today and until February 2, 2014 exclusively through the official LVMH Young Fashion Designers Prize website at www.lvmhprize.com.
In March 2014 the ten finalists presented to the jury will be selected from this cosmopolitan pool by an international panel of fashion experts, including journalists, stylists and buyers.
The jury for this first edition is composed of Nicolas Ghesquière (Louis Vuitton), Marc Jacobs (Marc Jacobs), Karl Lagerfeld (Fendi), Humberto Leon and Carol Lim (Kenzo), Phoebe Philo (Céline), Raf Simons (Dior) and Riccardo Tisci (Givenchy). They will be joined in their distinctive and complementary assessments of future-facing fashion design by Delphine Arnault (member of the board of LVMH and Executive Vice President of Louis Vuitton), Jean-Paul Claverie (advisor to Bernard Arnault and head of corporate philanthropy for LVMH) and Pierre-Yves Roussel (Chairman and CEO of the LVMH Fashion Group), giving the LVMH Prize a truly exceptional panel of judges.
The young fashion designer whose work and vision wins the hearts and minds of the jury will receive a grant of 300,000 euros as well as personalized assistance from LVMH teams for a period of twelve months from the prize award.
“The LVMH Prize has been created to support the community of young fashion designers,” said Delphine Arnault, a member of the jury. “This initiative celebrates the values of our Group. Our own remarkably talented designers will celebrate the talents of tomorrow and we will bring them the resources they need to grow while respecting their entrepreneurial independence. Our goal is to nourish the vitality and creativity of the fashion ecosystem on an international scale.”
