MASTERCLASS PIERRE CARDIN AT 080 BARCELONA FASHION WEEK /PHOTOS BY FILEP MOTWARY

Dear iDEALS, Pierre Cardin's finale was truly emotional for me, as he stood up from his front row seat to salute us all guests with a wave. During these moments, I was thinking of how a man can become a man of his own history and heritage. Rivers of waters run down mine eyes... For me, this was one of the strongest moments for this edition of 080 Barcelona Fashion Week.

ANDAM FASHION AWARD 2012

Dear iDEALS, the annual competition for the ANDAM Fashion Award opens officially on January 27, 2012 The competition was conceived to recognize and cultivate the talent of a world- class fashion designer who is still in the development phase. Entrants can be of any nationality, but must have, or agree to set up, a company in France...

AN EVER-GREATER ENDOWMENT

For its 23rd edition, the ANDAM Fashion Award is increasing its endowment by 15% over last year’s prize, reaching a record total of €230,000. The ANDAM Fashion Award remains the world’s largest single fashion prize, ahead of the CFDA/Vogue Awards and the British Fashion Council/Vogue Fund, thanks to the loyal support of its sponsors: the Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent Foundation, LVMH, thecorner.com (the online boutique powered by YOOX Group), Swarovski, Yves Saint Laurent, Galeries Lafayette, Longchamp, Hudson’s Bay Company and Only The Brave, as well as two public institutions, the DEFI and the French Ministry of Culture and Communication.

In addition to this exceptional endowment, the award winner will also have the opportunity to present his or her collection to the international corps of journalists and buyers during Paris Fashion Week in October 2012.

“For its 23rd year, the ANDAM Fashion Award is taking an even stronger international position, the better to reward deserving talents,” explains ANDAM director Nathalie Dufour.
