Fashion Contest
Rules
Every Spring in the South of France, the ‘International Fashion and Photography
Festival’ spotlights young promising artists in the fields of fashion and photography.
On the four days of the festival, young fashion designers present to the public their first
collection in a series of fashion shows directed by Maïda Gregoiri-Boina.
Their proposals are examined and assesed by an attentive jury of industry professionals.
Numerous talents revealed by the past of the festival’s Fashion Competition have since become
essential names in the world of fashion: Viktor & Rolf, Gaspard Yurkievich, Sébastien Meunier,
Christian Wijnants, Alexandre Matthieu, Stéphanie Coudert, Richard René, Swash, C Neeon,
Romain Kremer, Anthony Vaccarello, Julien Dossena, Peter Bertsch, Sandra Backlund,
Jean-Paul Lespagnard, Matthew Cunnington, Mareunrol’s, Alexandra Verschueren, Léa Peckre,
Céline Méteil, Émilie Meldem…
To cite only aprominent few. The Festival’s tight-knit bonds with the fashion industry are one
of its major assets: leading fashion companies sponsor all events and awards, and thus mark
their engagement towards young talent. Designers that have taken part in the Festival
as members or the jury count Martin Margiela, Hussein Chalayan, Helmut Lang,
Jean-Paul Gaultier, Martine Sitbon, John Galliano, Pierre Hardy, Anna Sui, Jean Colonna,
Azzedine Alaïa, Ann Demeulemeester, Christian Lacroix, Riccardo Tisci, Haider Ackermann,
Kris van Assche, Dries van Noten, Raf Simons...
