“They are witnesses and essential actors of fashion. Their vision helps to discover the most promising talents. I would like to thank them warmly for their loyalty and commitment to our cause,” said executive vice president of Louis Vuitton, Delphine Arnault.
Hadid and co will have to choose 20 semi-finalists, from which eight designers will be picked out by another committee of 59 international Experts to then proceed to the Finale taking place on June 5.
What’s on the line? The luxury conglomerate is offering Dhs1.2 million cash prize as well as a one-year mentorship from a “dedicated LVMH team” and a chance to work at one of the historic Maisons LVMH owns for one year, such as Hermés, Givenchy, and Dior. Now that’s something money can’t buy.
