After receiving over 1,700 applications from 100 countries, LVMH has finally revealed the list of 20 semi-finalists for its Prize for Young Fashion Designers. They were chosen by a panel of specialists headed by Delphine Arnault, director and vice president of Louis Vuitton.

The shortlisted designers come from 15 countries: Bulgaria, Canada, China, France, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands, Nigeria, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. Eight of them create womenswear, seven create menswear and 5 dedicate themselves to gender-neutral fashion.
