THe images below were not necessarily in the final choice but if they made it onto a model they were seriously taken into consideration. THe finalists will be notified within the week, I imagine so if you do not hear back than probably you were not selected.As always everyone did not agree on every collection but in the end the final choice was made. Out of 300 dossiers 68 made it to Paris and 10 were selected for the 24th edition of the festival d'Hyeres which will be held in the South of France the end of April.

The images above only mean that you were being considered, some looks that appear are in the final choice but many are not. Please do not ask me if your work got in because you will have to wait to be informed by the festival d'Hyeres. If you don't hear from them in the next 10 days, then…probably you did not. All I can say is that if you made it this far that was already a good sign and you should feel encouraged to continue.
Later,
Diane
