Started in 2013, the prize was launched to champion standout talent and foster their labels. Winning means getting a seal of approval from a jury of fashion\u2019s foremost designers and industry professionals like Nicolas Ghesquiere, Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld, and LVMH\u2019s own Delphine Arnault. Aside from being recognized by the industry, the winner receives a 300,000 euro grant and a year&#8217;s worth of expert support from the foundation. Of course, success in the industry for these designers isn\u2019t reliant on winning, but it certainly sets the stage.<\/p>\n<p>Presenting Models.com\u2019s exclusive week-long spotlight on each of the designers in anticipation of their final presentation at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris and the announcement of the winner on May 22nd.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"separ\"><\/div>\n<p>The LVMH 8<\/p>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-1-arthur-arbesser\/\">Pt.1<br \/>Arthur Arbesser<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/lvmh-coperni-femme\/\">Pt.2<br \/>Coperni<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-3-faustine-steinmetz\">Pt.3<br \/>Faustine Steinmetz<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-4-jacquemus\/\">Pt.4<br \/>Jacquemus<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-5-marques-almeida\/\">Pt.5<br \/>Marques&#8217;Almeida<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts active\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-6-off-white\/\">Pt.6<br \/>Off-White<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-7-vetements\/\">Pt.7<br \/>Vetements<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-8-craig-green\/\">Pt.8<br \/>Craig Green<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separ\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"introtitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-6-off-white\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Off-White<\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"introcredits\">\nSeries editors: Irene Ojo-Felix and Steven Yatsko<br \/>\nPhotography: Steven Yatsko for Models.com<br \/>\nStylist: <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/william-graper'>William Graper<\/a> @ The Wall Group<br \/>\nArt Direction: <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/stephan-moskovic'>Stephan Moskovic<\/a><br \/>\nHair: <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/takayoshi-tsukisawa'>Takayoshi Tsukisawa<\/a><br \/>\nMakeup: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kimweber.com\/\">Kim Weber<\/a><br \/>\nProduction: <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/jazmin-alvarez'>Jazmin Alvarez<\/a><br \/>\nPhoto assistant: Jason Acton<br \/>\nManicurist: Natalie Pavloski @ <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/agency\/lmc-worldwide'>LMC Worldwide<\/a><br \/>\nPortrait courtesy of the designer<\/p>\n<p>Text by Irene Ojo-Felix<\/p>\n<p>Model:<br \/>\n<a href='https:\/\/models.com\/models\/irina-shnitman'>Irina Shnitman<\/a> \/ <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/agency\/IMG'>IMG<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"portrait\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/Virgil-Abloh_Full.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/Virgil-Abloh_Full.jpg 640w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/Virgil-Abloh_Full-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"interview\">\n<p>Fashion, music, and street culture all align in Virgil Abloh\u2019s Off-White label. The Chicago native stands as the only American-born candidate for the coveted LVMH Young Designer Prize this year and his roots in streetwear run deep. From his previous Pyrex Vision line to his current role as creative director to Kanye West to DJing around the world, he\u2019s been able to create a cult following amongst the Hypebeast set. Yet, for his first foray into ready-to-wear, Abloh stresses that Off-White focuses more on the juxtaposition of the unexpected \u2013 where the free-styling nature of the street intersects with meticulous refinement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pullquote\">\n\u201c I love to embrace the culture as it happens, in real-time. The evolution into Off-White is a dialogue between a modern couple. &#8221;\n<\/div>\n<p>For the Spring 2015 season, Abloh titled his line &#8220;Nebraska&#8221; describing it as \u201can exploration into Midwestern, cheerleading, collegiate spirit.\u201d It\u2019s a multi-layered reference that mimics the multi-layered nature of the looks focused specifically \u201con abstracting pleating and reinterpreting it on skirts, shorts, and pants\u201d for an end result that showed an evolution of his self-referential aesthetic. It was a showing that relied heavily on the interchangeability of his men&#8217;s and women\u2019s fashion lines and how they both influence each other. Abloh describes Off-White as \u201ca dialogue between a modern couple.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So what exactly is an American designer doing in Italy? Abloh explains being drawn to the Milanese\u2019s expertise on luxury textiles and craftsmanship, \u201cI&#8217;m seeking to make a trademark of the brand. Italy has a deep history in manufacturing clothing that I respect and love to work within.\u201d If won, the LVMH prize money would \u201cgo towards expanding the concept. My background is architecture and a main focus of the brand is the lifestyle compliment, such as furniture design.\u201d An ambitious feat but nothing the forward-slash career juggler can\u2019t tackle. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"center\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/Yatsko-Modelsdot91817.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1706\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/Yatsko-Modelsdot91817.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/Yatsko-Modelsdot91817-840x1120.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/Yatsko-Modelsdot91817-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/Yatsko-Modelsdot91817-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separ\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"footerbox\">\n<p>The LVMH 8<\/p>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-1-arthur-arbesser\/\">Pt.1<br \/>Arthur Arbesser<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/lvmh-coperni-femme\/\">Pt.2<br \/>Coperni<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-3-faustine-steinmetz\/\">Pt.3<br \/>Faustine Steinmetz<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-4-jacquemus\/\">Pt.4<br \/>Jacquemus<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-5-marques-almeida\/\">Pt.5<br \/>Marques&#8217;Almeida<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts active\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-6-off-white\/\">Pt.6<br \/>Off-White<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-7-vetements\/\">Pt.7<br \/>Vetements<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-8-craig-green\/\">Pt.8<br \/>Craig Green<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separ\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"coming\">\nComing tomorrow: <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-7-vetements\/\">Pt.7 Vetements<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The LVMH 8:Pt.6 Off-White On May 22nd, LVMH will announce the winner of their 2015 Young Fashion Designer Prize from a pool of 8 finalists &#8211; Arthur Arbesser, Coperni, Craig Green, Faustine Steinmetz, Jacquemus, Marques\u2019Almeida, Off-White, and Vetements.
