The ANDAM Fashion Award revealed the 11 finalists for its 36th edition, selected by the 33-member jury panel.

Founded in 1989 by Nathalie Dufour with the support of the French Ministry of Culture, the ANDAM (Association Nationale pour le Développement des Arts de la Mode) Fashion Award is one of the most prestigious honors in the fashion industry, both in France and internationally. Its mission is to support emerging fashion designers, foster creative innovation, and reinforce the global influence of the French fashion scene. Each year, through its five prizes, the ANDAM Fashion Awards offer a financial and logistic support to fashion designers chosen after a long and in-depth process of sélection, contributing to the vitality and durability of the Fashion creative industry. Beyond the competition, ANDAM’s annual core mission is to guide and advise the young fashion brands in their structuring and development, and introduce them to the various actors of the fashion industry.

Among the names vying for the Grand Prize of €300,000 and the Special Prize of €100,000 are Willy Chavarria, Alain Paul, Egonlab, Zomer (Danial Aitouganov and Imruh Asha), and Meryll Rogge. The Pierre Bergé Prize, which supports young French talents with a €100,000 grant, features the lineup of Burc Akyol, Jeanne Friot, and Mouty. Beyond apparel, the Accessories Prize spotlights innovative brands such as Panconseni, a jewellery brand led by Marco Panconseni, accessory brand SarahLevy, and footwear brand Philéo.

The ANDAM Prize offers more than just financial backing. All finalists gain access to a network of mentorship and material resources, thanks to collaborations with industry companies like Balenciaga, Longchamp, Mytheresa, OTB, Swarovski, and Tomorrow. This includes access to fabric and raw material stock archives, working sessions on sustainable fashion practices, and mentoring to refine merchandising, sales, and financial strategies.

The winners of the 2025 ANDAM Prize will be announced on June 30 in Paris, following presentations by the finalists to the jury.
