Applications for the prestigious award close soon.
This year’s prestigious LVMH Prize will be judged by a panel of 59 fashion experts including Gigi Hadid, the contest’s semi-final Showroom Ambassador; British Vogue Editor-In-Chief Edward Enninful and Parisian sound director — known for creating runway soundtracks for Dries Van Noten and Balenciaga — Michel Gaubert.
Promising young designers will compete for a prize of €300,000 (approximately $331,000 USD) and a one-year LVMH mentorship to help with brand marketing, development and production. The Karl Lagerfeld Prize, introduced to honor the late Chanel designer, awards a winning designer €150,000 (approximately $165,500 USD) and one year of mentorship. Past winners include now-flourishing brands Marine Serre, Grace Wales Bonner and Jacquemus.
Additional members of the expansive judging committee include makeup artist Pat McGrath, activist Sinéad Burke (also a 2020 Woolmark Prize judge), HYPEBEAST founder Kevin Ma and journalist and OG fashion blogger Susie Lau.
