ARTURO OBEGERO
Arturo Obegero studied pattern making for a few years before joining Central Saint Martins, from which he graduated in 2018. After a year’s experience in the workshops of the House of Lanvin, he chose to launch his own brand. His ready-to-wear is inspired by dance, surrealist and neo-noir movements. His designs make up a romantic, sensual and austere wardrobe for both men and women.
EGONlab.
EGONlab. is deeply inspired by artistic movements and offers a reinterpretation of these revolutions. Fusing fashion, music, motion design and art, EGONlab. is a clever mix, both a unique brand and a movement in itself offering a totally immersive experience. EGONlab. juxtaposes masculine and feminine, modernity and historical know-how, romance and rebellion, sustainability and creativity. Their urban-punk DNA aims to dress all body types, all genders and all ages. EGONlab. was awarded the Andam- Pierre Bergé 2021 prize. EGONlab. is registered in the Official Calendar of the PFW® since January 2021.
LGN LOUIS GABRIEL NOUCHI
LGN Louis-Gabriel Nouchi, founded in 2017, has been registered in the PFW® Official Calendar since January 2018. A graduate of the Cambre School of Visual Arts, Louis-Gabriel Nouchi began his career at Vogue Paris as well as at Raf Simons. In 2014, he was nominated at the Festival de mode, de photographie et d’accessoires de mode - Hyères and won the Prix Camper and the Prix du Palais de Tokyo. The designer, inspired by both grunge counter-culture and traditional know-how, creates clothes that can be worn regardless of gender. Constantly seeking to improve the materials he uses, and partnering with European luxury factories and large textile groups, LGN offers a new relationship with clothing and the way fashion is conceived. Each piece has a «controlled defect», a magnified wear that allows each one to tell its own story. Product quality, production transparency and honesty are at the heart of the brand.

Lukhanyo Mdingi is a finalist for the ANDAM 2022 Grand Prize.
