On Thursday, March 24, luxury goods conglomerate LVMH<\/a> announced the finalists that will be continuing in the 2022 LVMH Prize for Young Designers competition. After hosting a two-day showroom semi-final earlier this month with 19 designers (originally 20, but downsized when Maximilian Davis<\/a> dropped out ahead of accepting his new role as new creative director of Salvatore Ferragamo), eight designers are competing to win the LVMH Prize and the Karl Lagerfeld<\/a> Prize for Innovation later this spring.<\/span><\/p>\n

The LVMH Prize was established in 2013 and has become known for spotlighting some of the buzziest names in fashion. Cult favorites like, Simon Porte Jacquemus of Jacquemus and Vetements co-founder and current creative director of Balenciaga, Demna Gvasalia (who now goes by Demna) are among past nominees who have since skyrocketed to become major players in fashion. Past prize winners include Peter Do, Thebe Magugu, and Grace Wales Bonner of their eponymous labels. The most recent winner was Albanian-born, London-based designer, Nensi Dojaka.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year’s eight finalists span from many different countries around the world, with three designers, Ashlyn by Ashlynn Park, ERL by Eli Russell Linnetz, and Winnie New York by Idris Balogun from the United States. The rest of the competitors consist of British designer Charlotte Knowles of Knwls<\/a>, Canadian designer Alexandre Arsenault, Irish designer R\u00f3is\u00edn Pierce, plus Ryunosukeokazaki by Ryunosuke Okazaki from Japan, S.S. Daley by Steven Stokey-Daley from the U.K., and Tokyo James by Iniye Tokyo James from Nigeria.<\/span><\/p>\n
