LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers 12th edition

The twelfth edition of the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers has confirmed its success and international appeal, with over 2,300 applicants from all over the world.

After the applications closed, 20 young brands were selected to take part in the semi-final – list below. The semi-finalists come from 15 countries, including, for the first time, Egypt, Ghana and Saudi Arabia, representing a great range of diverse cultures and talents.

The 20 semi-finalists will present their collections at the semi-final showroom, which will take place in Paris on 5th and 6th March 2025. Once again this year, the LVMH Prize will be held digitally on the dedicated website lvmhprize.com and will involve the general public. From 5th to 9th March, the public will be able to discover the designers and vote for their eight favourite candidates, just like the Experts.

On the occasion of the semi-final, the LVMH Prize Committee of Experts, made up of over 80 international fashion specialists, will select the eight finalists.

Delphine Arnault says:

“As the LVMH Prize steps into a new decade, it is my honour once more to welcome some exceptional talents. With this 2025 edition, we are seeing several compelling trends among emerging designers from all over the world, from a renewed interest in tailoring, to handcrafted embellishments and bold occasion dressing.

This year’s shortlist of 20 brands also includes candidates from three countries that are new to the LVMH Prize: Egypt, Ghana and Saudi Arabia. I’m also delighted to welcome back two brands that have competed in the Prize in the past: Renaissance Renaissance (2021) and Soshiotsuki (2016).

This year again, many of the brands place high value on experimentation and aesthetics, just like our Savoir-Faire Prize which is entering its second edition. This award highlights the importance of craftsmanship, innovation and sustainability, echoing three key issues for today’s fashion and luxury industries.
