MIKAEL VILCHEZ, Master Mercedes – Benz Prize 2017
The Mercedes Benz Price is awarded to someone that has been, for the jury and myself (Serge Ruffieux) somewhat self-evident. His work, refined and stripped from clichés, conveyed in a self-deprecating manner, proposes an innovative vision of denim as well as menswear.

MIGUEL FILIPE MENDES SALVADOR, Bachelor Bongenie Prize 2017
The jury was impressed by the richness of his universe as well as his expansive aesthetics that knowingly refrains from postcard folklore. His menswear collection proposes an object of rare craftsmanship that can be rendered into a wearable product, all the while exploring new materials and esthetical references of the most creative kind.

FLORE GIRARD DE LANGLADE, winner of the 1st edition of La Redoute x HEAD Prize.
"I was beguiled by Flore Girard de Langlade’s personality, a mixture of fragility and maturity. I loved her approach to classic pieces whom she skillfully restored to their former glory. I was touched by her attention to detail, her work with materials, her aesthetic concerns and finally her men’s apparel both sensual and feminine. With this price offering a young woman the possibility to create a ‘’capsule collection’’, la Redoute rewards creativity and modernity.S
Sylvette Lepers, Head of Partnerships Créateurs & Image for La Redoute
