LVMH Presents Fashion’s New Wunderkinder

The nominees span the globe, representing 17 countries in total. “All share an innovative vision, resolutely focused on the future, in terms of their research into new materials, use of bio-textiles or recycled fibers, concern for new artisanal techniques, and desire for local, reasoned production," comments Delphine Arnault, director and executive vice president of the LVMH Group. "These initiatives speak to a growing awareness across the fashion and luxury sector, and reflect the values of environmentally conscious fashion.”
