The frontrunners for this year's edition were chosen for their inventiveness, celebration of know-how and commitment to eco responsibility.
Rounding out the group are Dublin-based designer Róisín Pierce; Japanese brand Ryunosukeokazaki by Ryunosuke Okazaki, and Tokyo James by Iniye Tokyo James, which is established in Lagos.
“The semifinals highlighted the mature artistic approach of the candidates. These designers consider their brand from a global perspective: sourcing, production, marketing, image,” said Delphine Arnault, the force behind the initiative and a key talent scout at family-controlled luxury conglomerate LVMH.
For the second year running, members of the public were able to choose their favorite designer from among the 19 semifinalists via the prize’s digital platform, with more than 62,000 people casting their vote. Interest was stoked by the presence of “Squid Games” star HoYeon Jung. It has previously been awarded to Nensi Dojaka, who won the 2021 edition; Thebe Magugu; Doublet; Marine Serre; Grace Wales Bonner; Marques’ Almeida, and Thomas Tait. It has also boosted the careers of its runner-up special-prize winners, which include Rokh, Jacquemus and Hood by Air.
