Off-White™ and Craig Green Lead in the Race for LVMH 2015 Prize for Young Fashion Designers

LVMH has announced the eight finalists that will go up to the grand jury for the prestigious LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers. A shortlist of 26 designers and labels were chosen to meet with 45 industry experts a few weeks ago, and now, the eight chosen finalists will be facing a stellar jury in April, which includes Karl Lagerfeld, Raf Simons and Nicolas Ghesquière, to determine the winner. The final winner will be awarded a €300,000 EUR grant along with a year-long mentorship. Among the finalists are Craig Green and OFF-WHITE, both influential in current streetwear.
