Selection

A preliminary professional selection will take place in Hyères in December 2024. Subsequently, a jury will convene in Paris in January 2025 to select the 10 finalists. The results will be announced live on social media @villanoailles and then on the website villanoailles.com (no responses will be provided by phone). The announcement date for the results will be communicated in early January 2025 on social media and through newsletters (click here if you wish to subscribe).
After the January selection, the Festival will provide the ten selected finalists with resources to produce their 8 models (a personal collection of 7 models + 1 model specifically created for the L’Atelier des Matières Prize).

From then on, you will be required to:

• Be present in Paris from February 11th to 13th, 2025, inclusive, to participate in the Première Vision Paris event (access to Première Vision Paris exhibitors) and meet the Festival partners including le19M, l’Atelier des Matières, Atelier Aymeric Le Deun, the European Confederation of Flax and Hemp CELC, etc.
• Create a silhouette for the L’Atelier des Matières Prize: In addition to the 7 outfits from your collection, create a silhouette as part of this prize using materials provided by the workshop.
• Collaborate with the Crafts in the context of the le19M Crafts Prize. Each finalist will be assigned a House of Crafts of CHANEL with which they will have to think and create in part or in whole one of the silhouettes of their collection.
• Be present in Hyères for 12 days during the festival period in October 2025. Only accommodation and meals will be covered by the festival.
