<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Originally from Helsinki and a graduate of Aalto University, Jenny Hyt\u00f6nen<\/strong>, a 25-year-old designer, has worked on the contrast between armor and glamour<\/strong>, with leather garments spiked with metallic spikes or transparent mesh adorned with glass beads. In an assumed BDSM (bondage-discipline-sado-masochism) spirit, the vests open in the back with a set of buckled belts, associated with translucent beaded skirts worn over black leather briefs. The skin is revealed in a game of transparency and studded accessories.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The young designer’s collection was seductive because of its great strength, not only visual, but conceptual, managing to mix two opposing worlds, as well as its incredible technical mastery. “Each bead is placed by hand in the knitting”<\/em> she explains. “It’s also a time-consuming way of working that emphasizes the value of craftsmanship and the importance of manual execution techniques.”<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the Fashion category, the Festival also honored Valentin Lessner<\/strong>, who not only received the “le 19M des M\u00e9tiers d’Art”<\/em><\/strong> award introduced by Chanel<\/strong> in 2019, but also the Mercedes-Benz<\/strong> Eco Collection Award. Originally from Munich and a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in D\u00fcsseldorf, the young designer made a name for himself with his collection mixing streetwear and tailoring.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Grand Jury Prize for Fashion Accessories went to Joshua Cannone<\/strong> for his powerful collection of unusual and sometimes even disturbing pieces. The Accessories People’s Choice Award saluted the work of Lola Mossino<\/strong>, trained at the \u00c9cole nationale sup\u00e9rieure des arts appliqu\u00e9s et des m\u00e9tiers d’art in Paris, and Indra Eudaric<\/strong>, who went through the \u00c9cole sup\u00e9rieure d’art et design de Saint-\u00c9tienne, who launched her jewelry brand as a self-taught artist in 2015. The two teamed up to work on a joint project around a collection of jewelry with an erotic-playful spirit. Thanks to their model “La Cavali\u00e8re”, the duo also won the Herm\u00e8s Fashion Accessories Prize<\/strong><\/em>, initiated by the saddler in 2020, and whose theme this year was the belt,. For the photography part, the prize was awarded to the South Korean Rala Choi<\/strong>, who also won the Public Prize.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"https:\/\/media.gqmagazine.fr\/photos\/634c723f47049f259492439b\/16:9\/w_2560%2Cc_limit\/GettyImages-1433465767.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/media.gqmagazine.fr\/photos\/634c723f47049f259492439b\/16:9\/w_2560%2Cc_limit\/GettyImages-1433465767.jpg\")
