Supporting young talent.

The LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers is a patronage that embodies the commitment of the Group and its Houses towards tomorrow's rising stars.

The prize is awarded to young designers who are already promising new talents in haute couture, ready-to-wear and accessory design. The winner is selected by a jury of industry experts from amongst all participants by a process of elimination until only one name remains.

“Ten years after its creation, the LVMH Prize has become a benchmark, a key player in nurturing young designers. It has evolved over the years: the Prize reflects the developments and trends that drive fashion and, more broadly speaking, society. Many influential young designers have taken part in it over the last ten years, which shows the role the Prize plays in talent spotting.” –Delphine Arnault
