31st International Festival of Fashion and Photography in Hyères

Every Spring in the South of France, the ‘International Fashion and Photography Festival’ spotlights young promising artists in the fields of fashion and photography. The festival proposes diverse exhibitions, professional panel discussions and two competitions. The competitions showcase 10 fashion designers and 10 photographers selected by a jury of professionals in each field. The work of the chosen candidates is presented to the jury and the public in either fashion shows (designers) or group exhibitions (photographers).

On the four days of the festival, young fashion designers present to the public their first collection in a series of fashion shows directed by Maïda Gregoiri-Boina.

The 31st edition of the International Festival of Fashion and Photography at Hyères will take place at the villa Noailles between the 21st and the 25th of April, 2016. The exhibitions will run until the 22nd of May.

The festival directed by Jean- Pierre Blanc and presided over by Didier Grumbach, annually encourages and supports young artists in the elds of fashion and photography.

Julien Dossena

Born in Brittany in 1982, Julien Dossena grew up between the village of Pouldu in the Finistère region, Berlin and the South of France. After his baccalaureate in 2000, he studied at the Ecole d’Arts Appliqués Duperré in Paris, then at La Cambre, an internationally recognized school in Brussels specialized in the world of art and design, from 2002 to 2007.

While still a student, he was awarded the Special Prize of the Jury and the 1.2.3 Prize at the Festival International de la Mode of Hyères in 2006.

In 2008, he joined the Runway Studio at Balenciaga as Senior Designer, working side by side with Nicolas Ghesquière. He stayed there until the latter departed in 2012, and then launched his
own ready-to-wear brand, Atto. In July 2013, after being named Artistic Director of Paco Rabanne, he renewed and relaunched their women’s ready-to-wear, that had run out of steam since the departure of founder Paco Rabanne in 1999.

Deeply anchored in his era, Julien Dossena has successful managed to combine experimental research, inspired by the history of the Paco Rabanne house, along with his vision of a resolutely contemporary fashion statement, adapted to the daily life of today’s urban women.
