ANDAM Fashion Awards

Een eerbetoon aan bijzonder talent

Opkomende schittering

De ANDAM Fashion Awards, die voor het eerst in 1989 werden gehouden, eren jonge modeontwerpers die geen genoegen nemen met de status quo in Frankrijk en daarbuiten. Elk jaar begeleidt de Association Nationale pour le Développement des Arts een uitgebreid selectieproces om vijf winnaars te bepalen en krijgt elke finalist transformerende financiële en logistieke ondersteuning.

ANDAM x Swarovski

Met onze kenmerkende creativiteit en inzet voor innovatie, steunt Swarovski ANDAM al sinds 2013. Als permanent jurylid en maker van de jaarlijkse trofee kunnen we dromen waar blijven maken, ondernemerschap bevorderen en de toekomst van de mode vormgeven. Alle finalisten krijgen exclusieve toegang tot onze showroom, zodat deze nieuwe talenten de eindeloze mogelijkheden van Swarovski-kristallen kunnen ontdekken.

Ganador del Gran Premio

Conocido por sus diseños de género fluido, LGN Louis Gabriel Nouchi se impuso a 12 finalistas, llevándose a casa el Gran Premio de 300.000€ y una tutoría de un año con el director general de Chloé, Riccardo Bellini.

Los diseños de Nouchi hacen referencia a la literatura con tintes naturales, plásticos reciclados y tejidos de bajo impacto medioambiental. Su colección ganadora ofrece una nueva visión de la sensualidad masculina, inspirada en la novela de Christopher Isherwood “Un hombre soltero”.

Winners

Pierre Bergé Prize

French luxury brand Avellano received the Pierre Bergé Prize in recognition of his extraordinary work in latex. The talented young designer has made the material his signature, despite the challenges it offers, and has pioneered new technologies to create made-to-order pieces for his prestigious clientele.

Accessories Prize

Accessories Prize winner, Ruslan Baginskiy, has been creating contemporary headwear since 2015. Worn by Beyoncé on her Renaissance tour, the designer’s hats meld artisanal craftsmanship with multidisciplinary design flourishes influenced by the art, folklore, nature, and cultural heritage of his native Ukraine.

Innovation Prize

Italian start-up SQIM received the Innovation Prize for its remarkable new material, ephea. A unique bio fabricated material, made from fungi roots, ephea harnesses the power of mycelium to create a responsible and highly functional product without using any contaminating chemicals in the growth process.

Special Prize Winners

Ester Manas

One of two Special Prize winners, Ester Manas is revolutionizing size inclusivity, creating bold collections for fierce and joyful women. Founded in 2019 by Ester Manas and Balthazar Delespierre, the brand aims to empower and celebrate women of all shapes and sizes with a range of sustainable and socially responsible pieces.

Duran Lantink

Sharing the Special Prize, Duran Lantink is a sustainable fashion label at the forefront of circular production. Each collection uses discarded pre-loved garments and deadstock to create innovative new creations, enhanced by sustainable materials. Each revolutionary design breathes new life into forgotten fabrics.

The Trophy

Tradition dictates that the winners of the ANDAM Grand Prize are invited to design the following year’s trophies, in collaboration with Swarovski. For the prize’s 34th year, a series of distinctive trophies was devised by menswear label BOTTER and crafted from reignited Swarovski crystals.

“We feel honored and proud to have been selected by ANDAM and Swarovski to design this year’s trophy. We wanted to transform Swarovski crystals into melting ice to create awareness for global warming. Sustainable design is the future, it is very important to move everything forward in the right direction, all together. Therefore we used reignited Swarovski crystals and gave them new life and meaning.” Lisi Herrebrugh & Rushemy Botter

Enduring Luminosity

The ANDAM trophies are an ode to the importance of sustainability, formed into a shape that echoes the deterioration of the glacial ice caps, and serving as a timely reminder of what will befall the planet if fashion does not evolve and embrace recycled materials.
