This year, once more, the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers has confirmed its success and international scope: more than 1,900 candidates from all over the world have applied to the new edition of this competition.

When the applications closed, 20 young brands were selected for the semi-final. The designers hail from 13 countries: Belgium, Canada, China, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Nigeria, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States and, for the first time, Sri Lanka, encompassing a great diversity of cultures and talents. We are also delighted to welcome back Palomo Spain, semi-finalist of the 2017 edition.

On 4th and 5th March, the twenty semi-finalists will present their collections and their creative world at a showroom in Paris. On this occasion, the international Experts of the Prize, specialists from the world of fashion, will vote for the eight finalists. This year once again, the LVMH Prize will be held digitally on the dedicated website lvmhprize.com and involve the general public: from March 4th to 9th, everyone will be able to discover the designers and vote for their favourite candidate.
