The LVMH Prize, the prestigious award for young designers given by the luxury conglomerate each year since 2014, has announced its shortlist of 21 finalists. The group includes Palomo Spain, the ebulliently gender-bending menswear brand by Alejandro Gomez Palomo based in Cordoba; Molly Goddard, the buzzy womenswear designer out of London; and Charles Jeffrey Loverboy, the club kid-cum-designer, also based in London. The list (which you can see in full, below) includes both menswear and womenswear designers who live all over the globe from Tokyo, France, Germany and Australia to the UK, US, Spain, New Zealand and more. The prize will be handed out on June 16th at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris following a selection by a jury that includes fashion heavyweights like J.W. Anderson, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Nicolas Ghesquière, Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld, Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, Phoebe Philo, Riccardo Tisci, Delphine Arnault, Jean-Paul Claverie and Pierre-Yves Roussel. Prior to the announcement of the ultimate winner, the shortlist will be narrowed from 21 finalists to 8, selected by a panel of experts that includes Vogue Paris Editor-in-Chief Emmanuelle Alt, Business of Fashion's Imran Amed, Harper's Bazaar US Editor-in-Chief Glenda Bailey, Kendall Jenner, Juergen Teller and more. The prize, which is now in its fourth year, has helped propel the careers of past recipients like Grace Wales Bonner, Marques' Almeida, Jacquemus and Hood By Air.
