Hyères Fashion Finalists

The Hyères International fashion and photography competition is one the most prestigious in Europe. The festival opened on April 30 and there is just so much creativity pouring out that it's hard to decide where to begin.

This year the judging panel for the fashion competition was lead by none other than Dries Van Noten, with Maria Cornejo (designer and founder of Zero), Olivier Lalanne (Vogue Paris and Vogue Hommes International), Sarah Mowers (style.com) and Nancy Rohde (fashion stylist) among the judges. Images from the catwalk show are out and I have to say the standard is amazing. It's especially inspiring for me to see fully realised collections like these when I'm just starting mine. The designers that really blew me away explored form and drape with perfect execution. Their collections are conceptual and experimental without becoming a fashion circus.
