LVMH prize semifinalists have been selected from over 2,400 applicants and represent 15 countries.
Many of today’s top talents and culture-making designers have been either discovered or boosted by the LVMH Prize. Shayne Oliver of Hood By Air won a special prize back in 2014, as did Jacquemus the following year; Grace Wales Bonner won the grand prize in 2016, ditto Marine Serre the next year, and Nensi Dojaka in 2021; acclaimed talents Colm Dillane of KidSuper, Peter Do, Chopova Lowena, and Hed Mayner have also made their way through the program.
According to Arnault, there were over 2,400 candidates this year, a significant increase over last year’s 1,900. This year’s semifinalists hail from all over the world, including Ukraine, Brazil, Estonia, and Jamaica, and in the mix are three menswear focused designers, eight womenswear designers, and 11 designers who present their work either as a combination of menswear and genderless or genderless only. “All the semifinalists are anchored in today’s world,” Arnault said.
