The prize for emerging designer brands backed by France’s Ministry of Culture and a consortium of luxury brands is set to return this year, after 2020′s endowment was transformed into a crisis fund to support former winners.
The designers selected to compete as finalists for the €500,000 prize will be announced in May. Four final winners will be chosen as a function of their “creative vision and business brand,” ANDAM said in a statement Tuesday.
Guest members of this year’s jury include former Celine creative director Phoebe Philo, who has maintained a low profile since her 2017 departure from the LVMH-owned brand, Pyer Moss designer Kerby Jean Raymond and the rapper Lisa, a member of the Korean girl group Blackpink.
Balenciaga chief executive Cédric Charbit will preside and serve as mentor to the Grand Prize winner.
