Only 8 finalists remain for the LVMH Prize

Of the 20 initial candidates, only eight will make it to the final after having presented their collections in Paris almost two months ago.

One of the most prestigious awards in the fashion industry will be contested by eight profiles selected from among 2,500 applicants from all over the world. The LVMH Prize is very demanding and its aim is to support and catapult to success the designer who really surprises the judges with his or her proposal, as Marine Serre, Casablanca, Peter Do or Wales Bonner have already done in the past.

Now it is the turn of Aubero, Duran Lantink, Hodakova, Marie Adam-Leenaerdt, Niccolò Pasqualetti, Paolo Carzana, Pauline Dujancourt and Standing Grond, who will have to defend their collections on 10 September at the Fondation Louis Vuitton. The winner will be awarded the LVMH Prize and the Karl Lagerfeld runner-up prize, in addition to the Savoir-Faire Prize, which will be awarded for the first time at this edition.
