This year, American Vintage returns to the Hyères International Festival of Fashion, Photography and Fashion Accessories. An opportunity to grant its Photography Award and introduce visitors to upcycling with a dedicated workshop.
American Vintage Photography Award
Adapting to this peculiar year, the Hyères International Festival of Fashion, Photography and Fashion Accessories arrives at the Villa Noailles in autumn. From 15 to 18 October, the 35th edition will unite 10 international photographer finalists selected by a jury, presided over by Paolo Roversi. A partner of the festival for four years now, American Vintage is back once again with its American Vintage Photography Award. Like 2019 winner Hubert Crabières, the 2020 winner will receive a cash prize and take a series of photos for the brand. The result will be displayed in stores.
