- Fashion Accessories Prize: dedicated to designers of belts, gloves, shoes and leather goods, in partnership with Au-delà du Cuir (ADC).

An opportunity for French designers
The winners of the 2024 edition bear witness to the dynamism of this competition. Among them, Philéo Landowski impressed with his innovative shoes, while Mossi Traoré was singled out for his social project combining haute couture and the transmission of know-how. Designer Lucille Thievre made her mark with her technical approach, and Kitesy Martin, who specializes in upcycled jewelry, won the jewelry accessories category.
A valuable endowment and visibility
The winners will receive a prize of 18,000 euros, financed in part by the City of Paris and private partners such as the Fédération Française du Prêt-à-Porter Féminin, ESMOD, Galeries Lafayette and Roger Pradier. In addition to this financial support, the winners will benefit from media exposure through influential events and institutions, such as the Palais Galliera, Première Classe and Paris Design Week.
A unique springboard for designers looking to make their mark on the French arts and crafts scene.
