Dear Shaded Viewers,
The 2025 ANDAM Fashion Awards were held last night in the evocative setting of the Palais Royal. The evening’s top honor, the Grand Prix, was awarded to Meryll Rogge, the Belgian designer. Rogge, who honed her craft at Dries Van Noten and Marc Jacobs, is now recognized for collections that are both sharply tailored and emotionally resonant. Her win, accompanied by a €300,000 prize and mentorship from Sidney Toledano of LVMH, signals a strong endorsement from the industry’s most influential figures.
The Pierre Bergé Prize went to Burç Akyol, whose approach to tailoring draws from his Turkish heritage. Along with his €100,000 award he receives guidance from Alexandre Mattiussi.
Alain Paul received the Special Prize €100,000.
In accessories, Sarah Levy was awarded €100,000.
The Innovation Prize was awarded to Losanje, a platform dedicated to circular textile solutions, while a new Special Innovation Prize went to Goldeneye Smart Vision, an AI-powered tool for real-time fabric quality control—both signaling the growing importance of sustainability and technology in fashion’s future.
Later,
Diane
