Presidents of fashion jury for Hyères Festival announced

Founders of Opening Ceremony and creative directors at Kenzo, Carol Lim and Humberto

Leon, will preside over the fashion jury of the 29th Hyères International Festival of Fashion and Photography, which runs from April 25 to 28 in France.

They will be joined on the fashion jury by actress Chloë Sevigny, who has collaborated with Opening Ceremony before, along with nine other members who will help select the 10 finalists for the festival.

“Chloë has a very strong point of view on fashion,” Humberto Leon, told WWD. “When you look at the way she has dressed from when she was 16 until now, she represented all these different very big moments in fashion. She has gone through many interesting stages in her own fashion choices.”

Each year the festival discovers 10 fashion designers and photographers, and one wins the Grand Jury Prize. Among the previous winners of the accolade include Viktor & Rolf and Anthony Vaccarello.

The 29th edition of the event will take place from April 25-28.
