The highly anticipated LVMH Prize, a renowned award honoring emerging fashion designers, is scheduled to make its return to Paris on September 7, 2021. After a disruptive year in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the organizers are eager to bring back a sense of normalcy and embrace the opportunity to celebrate the exceptional talent of young fashion creators.
In its eighth edition, the final of the LVMH Prize will take place at the prestigious Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. What sets this year apart is that the event will be open to the public, granting fashion enthusiasts a rare chance to peek behind the scenes and discover the highlights of the competition. To further engage with a wider audience, the luxury group has promised to share exclusive content and provide insights into the finalists’ journeys through their social media platforms.
Unfortunately, last year’s LVMH Prize final had to be canceled due to the global health crisis. However, as a gesture of support, the prize money of 300,000 euros was equally divided among the eight 2020 finalists. This year, the stakes are raised once again, with nine talented designers vying for the prestigious award. Among the finalists are recognized names such as Bianca Saunders, winner of the Andam Prize, Charles de Vilmorin, Christopher John Rogers, Conner Ives, Colm Dillane with his brand KidSuper, Kika Vargas, Lukhanyo Mdingi, Nensi Dojaka, and Rui Zhou with her label Rui.
On September 7, these emerging designers will have the honor of presenting their captivating collections to a panel of esteemed judges. The judges’ responsibilities encompass not only determining the winner of the LVMH Prize 2021 but also selecting the recipient of the Karl Lagerfeld Special Jury Prize, an additional recognition that celebrates exceptional talent within the fashion industry.
Acknowledged as one of the fashion industry’s highest accolades, the LVMH Prize offers unparalleled exposure and support to young designers from the world’s largest luxury company. Previous winners have enjoyed tremendous success and gained widespread recognition, propelling their careers to new heights within the fiercely competitive fashion landscape.
The revival of the LVMH Prize emphasizes the industry’s resilience in the face of challenges. By providing a platform for emerging talent, LVMH continues to champion creativity and innovation, ensuring that the fashion world remains vibrant and dynamic. The final event promises to be an exhilarating moment for both the fashion industry and enthusiasts around the globe as they eagerly anticipate the unveiling of the next generation of visionary designers.
