Aurore Thibout won the prize from the city of Hyeres

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Every year the city of Hyeres votes for their favorite designer, this year the prize went to Aurore Thibout. We were all with huge smiles when the Mayor walked on stage. He’s not been feeling that well lately and none of us thought that he would be able to make it to the 21st edition of the festival.
