Dear Shaded Viewers
Among the 20 semi-finalists for the 9th edition of the LVMH Prize are designers from Belgium, Canada, China, Korea, Spain, the US, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Nigeria, the UK and for the first time, Sri Lanka. March 4 and 5 the designers will present their collections to the international experts. This edition the collections will be digital on a site dedicated to the prize www.lvmhprize.com. From March 4-9 the public can also vote for their favourite candidate.
Delphine Arnault said:
“The twenty semi-finalists are driven by an optimistic and innovative vision. They all place eco-responsibility at the heart of their creative approach: use of recycled materials, work on upcycling, etc. They are also very keen to integrate a more virtuous production system and some of them honour local and artisanal know-how. The fluidity of the women’s and men’s changing rooms is another constant of this edition.”
“I am very pleased to welcome new inspiring personalities, who join our prestigious Committee of Experts this year: Camille Charrière, Eva Chen, Ben Cobb, Pierre A. M’Pelé, Mel Ottenberg, Julia Sarr-Jamois, Cindy Sherman and Eugénie Trochu. I would like to warmly thank all of our Expert friends who contribute each year to making the LVMH Prize a benchmark for young designers. All of this makes for an exceptional 2022 edition.” Delphine Arnault
