Delphine Arnault, CEO of Christian Dior, shared in a statement: *”For the 12th edition of the LVMH Prize, the semi-finalists’ collections showcased a remarkable diversity of backgrounds and creative perspectives. Each designer demonstrated exceptional skill in tailoring and craftsmanship, along with a refined aesthetic. I’d like to congratulate them all.”*

The finalists will compete at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris on September 3, where the winners of the Grand Prize, Karl Lagerfeld Prize, and Savoir-Faire Prize will be chosen. The jury, which in past years has included LVMH-affiliated designers like Phoebe Philo, Jonathan Anderson, Pharrell Williams, and Marc Jacobs—alongside Arnault and executives such as Jean-Paul Claverie and Sidney Toledano—will make the final selections.
