Andam unveils a glamorous, film-loving jury for 2024

Béatrice Dalle, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Rossy de Palma are among the jury members of Andam (Association nationale pour le développement des arts de la mode) this year, mainly from the film world. They were chosen by the creative director of Saint Laurent, Anthony Vaccarello, patron of this 35th edition of the competition for young fashion designers and chairman of the jury. The designer selected thirteen guest members, who will join the permanent jury of 22 members representing the main sponsors of the Andam Prize.

No fewer than six of the thirteen invited members come from the film industry. In addition to the three actresses already mentioned, these include actress Virginie Efira, actor Niels Schneider and director Gaspar Noé. It is also a way to underline the Kering group’s ties with the 7th art, as last year they founded the production company Saint Laurent Productions and worked with Gaspar Noé on the medium-length film Lux Æterna, starring the muses of the house, Béatrice Dalle and Charlotte Gainsbourg.

The jury for the competition, created in 1989 by Nathalie Dufour, its general director, on the initiative of the Ministry of Culture and Le Défi, this year also includes singer and composer Carla Bruni, former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris, Emmanuelle Alt, writer Virginie Despentes, journalist Augustin Trapenard, singer Rosé of the South Korean group Blackpink, and models Anja Rubik and Alek Wek.

Andam launched its applications and 35th anniversary celebrations in January. This year, just like in 2023, the competition has a total prize money of 700,000 euros. The list of finalists will be announced at the end of May.

The winners of the competition will be chosen by the jury on June 27, 2024. Five prizes will be awarded: the Andam Grand Prize (300,000 euros), the Special Grand Prize (100,000 euros), the Pierre Bergé Prize (100,000 euros), the Fashion Accessories Prize (100,000 euros) and the Innovation Prize (100,000 euros), which will be revealed in the coming days.
