Congratulations to the 20 semi-finalists of this year's LVMH Prize:
Applications for the 2020 LVMH Prize opened in December, and young talents with aspirations to be the next Marine Serre, Grace Wales Bonner, or—all previous winners—were invited to apply by February 2. The winner won’t be announced until June, but in the meantime, the LVMH Prize jury gathered to comb through the applications and select 20 semifinalists.
She continued: “This year, it is worthy of note that more and more designers are working in collectives, with six duos and one trio represented among the semi-finalists. Last but not least, our selection stands out in terms of parity, with 14 women and 14 men, each illustrating in their own way the ongoing conversation between the male and female wardrobes, the breaking down of gender barriers, and the emergence of a more inclusive mode of dressing.
Each designer will meet with the jury during Paris Fashion Week, and eight will be chosen for the final round. The grand prize will be given on June 5 at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, with the winner receiving €300,000 and a year of mentorship from a dedicated LVMH team. Until then, consider this a crash course in the designers you need to know right now.
