young designers the opportunity to present their first collection before

fashion designers discovered during previous Hyères festivals are
now pursuing professional careers in the fashion field. They include
Viktor & Rolf, Alexandre Matthieu, Oscar Suleyman,
Sébastien Meunier, Xavier Delcour and others.
