It’s time of fashion contests

• Winner of the “Premiére Vision Jury Prize” was the design duo by Rushemy Botter, coming from Amsterdam Fashion Institute, and Lisi Herrebrugh, graduated at Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Their menswear collection was awarded for the innovative way to interpret the male wardrobe with deconstructed and layered handpainted garments inspired by the life of fishermen and the color of the Caribbean.
• Marie-eve Lecavalier won the “Chloé Prize” and a special mention from the jury for the tricot effect of her leather creations mixed with denim, crochet and psychedelic printed cotton.
• Sarah Bruylant, with her Pointillism-effect collection inspired by the New Look reinterpreted halfway between Dior and Comme Des Garçons, found the favor of the people, winning the “Public Prize city of Hyérez”.
