In the iconic setting of villa Noailles, the Festival international de mode, de photographie et d’accessoires d’Hyères demonstrated that it remains the cradle of creative avant-garde.

It confirmed its status as an unmissable event for professionals, passionate enthusiasts, and curious visitors seeking tomorrow's talents.

A new impetus for creation

Under the impetus of its new general director, Hugo Lucchino, and its new president, Valérie Duport, the art center conceived an unprecedented artistic direction.

Magalie Guérin took the lead, partnering with experts for each discipline: Nataniel N.M. Robert for fashion, Rebecca Cuglietta for photography, and Florence Tétier for accessories.

A sign of the times, the three juries were chaired by three internationally renowned female creators.

Chemena Kamali, creative director of Chloé, chaired the fashion jury. Photographer Camille Vivier brought her expertise to the photography competition, while Cecilie Bahnsen, founder of her eponymous brand, led the accessories jury.
