The Grands Prix de la Création de la ville de Paris reward talents from the world of fashion, design and crafts. A novelty this year: the awarding of a seventh prize dedicated to fashion accessories. Only two weeks left to submit an application; applications are open until May 15.
Created in 2003, the Grands Prix de la Création de la ville de Paris are intended to reward professionals from the fashion, design and fine crafts sectors. In each category – fashion, arts and crafts, design – two prizes are awarded:
-
The Grand Prix, which rewards a professional for the quality of his project and his career, his development strategy and for his commitment to the transmission of know-how and innovations. This award is specifically addressed to experienced professionals and brands with advanced development.
-
The Emerging Talent Prize, which, unlike the first, rewards a professional without significant experience, but whose project is promising.
For this new edition, the city of Paris will award a 7th prize, the Fashion Accessory Prize, which will distinguish an emerging or established accessories project (leather goods, shoes, gloves, belts, etc.). A prize awarded in partnership with ADC – Beyond Leather.
For this new edition, the presidency of the Grands Prix has been entrusted to François Azambourg for design, to Christine Phung for fashion and to Ludovic Avenal for crafts.
