Meryll Rogge Wins 2025 ANDAM Fashion Award
PARIS — Meryll Rogge scooped the Grand Prize of the 2025 ANDAM Fashion Award, whose jury of the year was all about the French touch. A 2008 graduate of Antwerp's Royal Academy of Fine Arts who dreamed of being an illustrator as a child, she swapped paint for textile swatches when moving to New York. After working her way up to lead designer at Marc Jacobs over seven years, she was back in Antwerp working for Dries Van Noten as head of women's design in 2014 before going solo in 2020.

In addition to the cash award of 300,000 euros, she will be mentored by 36th jury president Sidney Toledano, an adviser to LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault, as well as president of the Institut Français de la Mode fashion school. Taking home the runner-up Special Prize, its 100,000-euro purse and a year's worth of mentoring by Toledano is Alain Paul, who parlayed a 10-year career working for the likes of Vetements and Louis Vuitton into his eponymous Alainpaul brand in 2023. The Pierre Bergé Prize and its 100,000-euro purse went to Burç Akyol, whose eponymous genderless label marries sexiness with austerity — and flawless tailoring. He will be mentored by Alexandre Mattiuissi, the founder and artistic director of Ami who scooped up the grand prize in 2013. The brand came on board as a sponsor of the design competition with this edition. Also in the running in this category dedicated to emerging creative labels were Jeanne Friot and Mouty by couple Bertille and Thomas Mouty. Belgian designer Sarah Lévy of Sarahlevy beat out footwear designer Philéo Landowski and jeweler Marco Panconesi to win the 2025 accessories prize, which comes with 100,000 euros and purse and mentoring by Sophie Delafontaine, creative director of Longchamp. This year, the innovation prize was awarded separately in May and went to Losanje, a fashion tech company based in the central French city of Nevers that is helping brands implement the use of circular textiles. The edition's jury included 11 guest members, including Pascal Morand, executive president of the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, Sarah Andelman and fashion documentary director Loïc Prigent. Joining them were multihyphenate actress and author Lou Doillon; Lucky Love, the singer who performed at the opening ceremony for the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games; musical artist Eddy de Pretto; art gallery founder Emmanuel Perrotin, and model, actress and entrepreneur Liya Kebede. Rounding out the 2025 group sitting alongside permanent members, who are mainly executives drawn from sponsors, were creative consultant Carlos Nazario; writer and fashion critic Sophie Fontanel, and Beka Gvishiani, who's behind the Stylenotcom Instagram account. Created in 1989 by Nathalie Dufour with the support of the French Ministry of Culture and the DEFI, a body that promotes the development of the French fashion industry, and with the late Pierre Bergé as president, ANDAM has been a springboard for designers who would go on to achieve international recognition. In October, a retrospective at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs gave an overview of the ANDAM's 35-year run, featuring works by winners across fashion and accessories including Viktor & Rolf, Jeremy Scott, Marine Serre, Y/Project, Christopher Esber and Ukrainian milliner Ruslan Baginskiy.

Meryll Rogge Scoops Top ANDAM Prize
It was all joy, sweat, and tears this evening in Paris—sweat because it's 92°—as the fashion world came together in the garden at the Palais Royal to applaud the finalists and winners of the 2025 ANDAM Prize. Meryll Rogge scooped the Grand Prize of 300,000 euros, earning praise from ANDAM president Guillaume Houzé for 'giving a masterclass in fashion and contemporary culture, turning ambiguity, hybridity, and the unexpected into allies.' In a new development, with this 36th edition ANDAM has reinforced its personalized mentoring program: Rogge will receive support from Sydney Tolédano, president of IFM, senior advisor to the LVMH Chairman and CEO, and president of the jury for the 2025 ANDAM prize. The Special Prize went to Alain Paul, who likewise receives a mentorship from Tolédano as well as 100,000 euros. The Pierre Bergé Prize went to Burc Akyol, who receives 100,000 and a mentorship from AMI founder and creative director Alexandre Mattiussi — himself a winner of the Grand Prize, in 2013 and now an ANDAM sponsor and the designer of the ANDAM 2025 crystal trophy in collaboration with Swarovski. Sarah Levy won the Accessories Prize of 100,000 euros and a year of guidance from Sophie Delafontaine, creative director of Longchamp. The 2025 ANDAM winners will receive dedicated mentorships from the likes of Bureau Betak, Instagram, Galeries Lafayette, OTB, WSN and Premiere Classe, the French platform Maison des Savoir-Faire et de la Création, and Les Teintures de France for textile printing on future collections, plus complementary production of one piece. Tonight's honorees join the start-up Losanje, which last month won the ANDAM Fashion Innovation Award for a model that supports businesses in creating circular textile products. And, as it turns out, it was a winning night for all ANDAM finalists, who can count on ongoing support from ANDAM's long list of private sponsors, as well as streamlined access to the broader French fashion ecosystem.

ANDAM Fashion Awards: 2025's 11 finalists revealed
The 35th edition of the ANDAM Fashion Awards competition has unveiled its eleven finalists for 2025. The five nominees for the Grand Prize and the Special Prize are Alain Paul, Egonlab, Meryll Rogge, Willy Chavarria and Zomer, while six finalists have been selected for the Pierre Bergé and Fashion Accessories prizes. ANDAM president Sidney Toledano, together with both permanent and guest 2025 jury members, will now deliberate and chose the winners from those shortlisted. The recipient of the Grand Prize will be awarded 300,000 euros, while 100,000 euros will go to the recipient of the Special Prize. Alainpaul AW25 Credits: Lauchmetrics 5 finalists for the Grand Prize and Special Prize Alain Paul, designer of the eponymous brand Alainpaul, has an rooted in a fundamental trend: balletcore. Since his debut on the Parisian scene, Paul has presented his collections at Paris' Théâtre du Châtelet, a symbolic venue that reinforces his DNA. The designer is also currently competing for the LVMH 2025 prize. Parisian label EgonLab, founded by Kévin Nompeix and Florentin Glémarec, is pitted as a major outsider. Since its debut in 2019, the brand has been well praised for its ability to merge genderless tailoring with the punk spirit. The duo already won the Pierre Bergé prize in 2021. Meryll Rogge studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium, before working for Dries Van Noten, then at Marc Jacobs in New York. For autumn/winter 2025, Rogge showed in Paris, exploring the art of layering, with a collection that mixed and matched outerwear in a haphazard manner. Willy Chavarria made a name for himself during Paris Fashion Week in March 2025 by parading a resolutely anti-Trump message. The Mexican-American fashion designer incorporates messages related to Latino identity, immigration, the queer community, social justice and the working class into his collections. This was enough to awaken the fervour of American Diane Pernet, who chose him to be the president of her ASVOFF 2025 fashion film festival. Zomer is a young women's ready-to-wear brand based in Paris, founded in 2023 by designer Danial Aitouganov and stylist Imruh Asha. Inspired by the art world, its aesthetic is fresh and colourful. Credits: Willy Chavarria 3 finalists of the Pierre Bergé prize: Burc Akyol, Jeanne Friot and Mouty Franco-Turkish designer Burc Akyol entered the FHCM women's calendar in March 2025, after having previously presented a non-gendered collection in the men's calendar. Parisian designer Jeanne Friot needs no introduction, a darling of the media both for her radical style and for her activism in favour of the queer community. Most recently, she was known for designing the outfit of the now infamous silver horseman that opened the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. A fusion of streetwear and tailoring, Mouty is a Parisian menswear ready-to-wear brand founded in 2018 by the couple Bertille and Thomas Mouty. While little is currently known about the brand, it has a shop in the sixteenth arrondissement of Paris and is sold at Printemps and Galeries Lafayette.

Before launching his own label, he collaborated with luxury houses such as Givenchy, Balenciaga, Mugler, Peter Pilotto and Rihanna's brand, Fenty. Philéo is a young French luxury footwear brand, founded by designer Philéo Landowski. His creative universe goes beyond the boundaries of fashion. In September 2024, he distinguished himself in a collaboration with Japanese artist Tadashi Kawamata, known for his works exploring the transformation of the urban landscape. Together, they created the installation 'Avalanches', burying the courtyard of the Parisian concept store Dover Street Market under a pile of wooden chairs. Sarah Levy's name has been circulating for a while in the fashion sphere, given her background with prestigious houses like Hermès and Givenchy or her work on leather accessories at Patou. Her innovative approach has earned her numerous awards, including the Artagon Prize in 2018, the Public Prize at the Hyères Festival in 2019 and the title of 'Accessories Designer of the Year' at the Belgian Fashion Awards in 2023. On June 30, 2025, the nominees will present their projects to the jury, who are to then select the 2025 winners based on their creative and business potential. This evaluation will be followed by a cocktail reception in the gardens of the Palais Royal, next to the Ministry of Culture. This article was translated to English using an AI tool.
