The 34th edition of the International Festival of Fashion, Photography and Fashion accessories

The festival promotes young creation in fashion, photography and fashion accessories areas.
Every year, the festival is organized around three contests, exhibitions and roundtable discussions. Competitions bring out ten fashion designers (since 1986), ten photographers (since 1997) and ten accessories designers (since 2017) who are selected by professionals. The quality of these images demonstrates that even in the digital age, with smartphones everywhere and more photos being shot than ever before, the eye and the imagination of the photographer is still what creates great pictures.
