LVMH Prize for Young Designers to Hold Final on Sept. 7
EMBARGOED UNTIL THURSDAY 22 JULY AT 2.30 P.M. CET
SAVE THE DATE: LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton has set the date for the final of its LVMH Prize for Young Designers.
The candidates who are able to travel to Paris will gather at the Louis Vuitton Foundation on Sept. 7 to face the panel of judges, which has yet to be announced, but is sure to include the group’s top designers.
This year’s edition will mark the return to a physical event, after last year’s final was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The top prize of 300,000 euros was divided equally among the eight finalists.
For the eighth edition of the prestigious award, nine finalists are in the running, including three U.S. designers: Christopher John Rogers, Conner Ives and KidSuper designer Colm Dillane.
They are joined by British designer Bianca Saunders, who recently won the ANDAM award; France’s Charles de Vilmorin; Colombian designer Kika Vargas; Lukhanyo Mdingi from South Africa; Albanian-born, London-based Nensi Dojaka, and China’s Rui Zhou, the designer behind the genderless Rui label.
