This year again, the fashion jury brought together a prestigious cast, including Jenny Hytönen, winner of the Prix du Jury 2022, as well as Daphné Bürki, Babeth Dijan, Hubert Barrère and Bilal Hassani. The final featured 10 young designers from Belgium, South Korea and France.

The Belgian designer based in Paris, who trained at Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, won over the jury with YESSIR, a collection inspired by the uniforms worn by hotel staff. His pieces reflect the interactions and power dynamics between the various employees of these establishments.
“It is also a whole reflection on the role of the uniform, and how it modifies the way people perceive you when you wear a uniform. I try to experiment a lot with tailoring and the whole proportions of the uniform.”
