Karl Lagerfeld will be immortalized with a fashion prize in his name.
His legendary fashion career was ignited by an award. In his twilight years, he acted as a judge for the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers, leaving most contenders starstruck.
“Karl Lagerfeld, creative director of the house of Fendi since 1965, was involved in the prize since its launch,” said Delphine Arnault, the force behind the high-profile design competition. “He was fully committed to it since Day One, transporting us with his enthusiasm and his energy, sharing with everyone, whether other jury members or candidates, his culture and his passion for fashion. We shall always cherish those precious moments.
Established in 2014 and unique in its online-only application process, the LVMH Prize is open for anyone under age 40 who has produced and sold at least two women’s or men’s ready-to-wear collections. Each year, three graduates from fashion schools are also recognized.Karl Lagerfeld visits the Jahnkoy booth at the LVMH Prize 2017 presentation. Stéphane Feugère
The finalists for this year’s LVMH Prize — which comes with 300,000 euros plus a year of coaching from experts at family-controlled LVMH — are Anrealage, designed by Kunihiko Morinaga; Bethany Williams; Bode by Emily Adams Bode; Hed Mayner; Kenneth Ize; Phipps by Spencer Phipps; Stefan Cooke by Stefan Cooke and Jake Burt, and Thebe Magugu.
Lagerfeld took a grandfatherly approach to the young winners and contenders, most of whom were gobsmacked to interact with the fashion icon.
