The 40th edition of the International Festival of Fashion, Photography and Accessories – Hyères, took place from Thursday 16th to Saturday 18th October at the villa Noailles.
The exhibitions will be open to the public until January 2026.
The festival was founded by Jean-Pierre Blanc. Since 2016, it has been presided by Pascale Mussard, following Didier Grumbach‘s chairmanship from 1997 to 2016.
Since 1986, the festival has promoted and supported young international fashion designers, since 1997 a competition has also existed for emerging photographers and, since 2016, a competition also recognises young fashion accessory designers. The festival is acknowledged as the oldest fashion competition aimed at young professionals. Several prizes are awarded to the competing designers thanks to grants provided by the festival’s partners who commit, together with the festival, to provide long term support. Practical assistance is provided right from the selection stage as well as during a period of two years in various domains: financing, production, workmanship, materials, production, legal, media, exhibitions, workshops and residencies.
Once again in 2025, the faithful partners of the festival are committed to support the next generation of designers: CHANEL, le19M, le19M,, Première Vision, LVMH, Hermès, American Vintage, the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, DEFI, Group Galeries Lafayette, L’Atelier des Matières, Sheriff Projects, Kitten, the Alliance For European Flax-Linen & Hemp, Kering, Sterling International, Icicle, Supima, Premiere Classe, Les Teintures de France, Au-delà du Cuir.
