Launched in November 2013, the Prix LVMH pour les Jeunes Créateurs de Mode (LVMH prize for young fashion designers)is open to designers under the age of 40, who have already designed and shown at least two collections of men's or women's ready-to-wear. In February, 30 of them were short-listed to present their collections to a panel of industry professionals from the LVMH stable, including Nicolas Ghesquière, Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerlfeld, Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, Phoebe Philo, Raf Simons and Riccardo Tisci alongside LVMH's Delphine Arnault, Jean-Paul Claverie and Pierre-Yves Roussel, who selected 12 finalists to show today, Wednesday May 28. Thomas Tait walked away with the Prix LVMH, representing a €30,000 grant and personal business mentoring by a specially created team from LVMH.
Thomas Tait had disjointed cubist prints with minimal pleated features in a naive palette of bold colours at his AW14 show in London, which is the latest collection from this young designer. It's very strong, and the make-up by Homas de Kluyver's was the perfect compliment to the collection: Yves Klien blues and dried acid greens. VIBRANT, YOUNG and FAST are the words that describe Tait best. And I can't wait to see what new will his LVMH award bring him!
