Call for entries: International Festival of Fashion, Photography and Accessories - Hyères 2026

41st International Festival of Fashion, Photography and Accessories – Hyères
15 to 18 October 2026

Organised by the Villa Noailles Association

The villa Noailles Art Centre organises the International Festival of Fashion, Photography and Accessories – Hyères every year. Recognised as a major player in discovering and supporting young talent, the festival has established itself as an unmissable event for professionals in the fashion, photography and accessories sectors.

Since 1986, the festival has showcased emerging designers, many of whom have gone on to become iconic figures on the international stage. A true springboard, the festival represents the first step in a promising career path, fostering encounters and exchanges between young talents and influential figures in the industry.

Three competitions – fashion, photography, and accessories – each feature ten finalists selected by prestigious juries. The professional days provide participants with opportunities to connect with journalists, buyers, major fashion houses, talent scouts, consultants, manufacturers, gallery owners, and financiers, in a setting conducive to collaboration and recognition.

Villa Noailles extends this dynamic of discovery and dissemination by organising exhibitions of the finalists’ work, open to the public for several months.
