Fashion is both a daily art affecting everyone and a major cultural and economic stake for France. I am particularly attached to upcoming designers who provide the dynamism and renewal of the fashion ecosystem. The French ministry of Culture participates to ANDAM in its mission of supporting creation and I would like to thank its team for the work done since 30 years, ensuring the creative continuity.” FRANCK RIESTER, FRENCH MINISTER OF CULTURE “This year’s selection of ANDAM finalists was particularly diverse and interesting, not uniformed by a single market trend or too business-driven. And it was very international and culturally rich. I am looking forward to meeting the chosen finalists and to listening to their vision. No matter who the final winner will be, just being in this selection is a great chance of exposure and exchange for them” RENZO ROSSO, OTB PRESIDENT AND MENTOR OF THE 2019 ANDAM FASHION AWard’s winner “This anniversary edition is a great opportunity to thank all the personalities who have contributed to ANDAM and have enhanced the prestige of its competition, since 30 years.

At the time of writing, the COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted many losses: human, social and economic. What we are now experiencing is an unprecedented moment of crisis in modern history. However, it is during uncertain times that companies often come up with new ideas, converting the crisis into an opportunity, and adopting a long-term vision of future challenges. This prolonged disruptive situation is creating profound changes in consumer behavior and how companies are responding to these changes—prompting a debate about the future of the fashion and luxury industry. There is a general feeling of rethinking luxury and driving it in new directions, considering which business models will be feasible and more relevant in the new normal. Tradition and responsiveness, two elements that have always characterized luxury companies, will both be required to face great challenges in the post-COVID environment. We see the pandemic acting as a divider between the old way of doing business and the new scenario that is taking shape, characterized by changing consumer behavior. Hence, in this report, we talk about a new age for fashion and luxury and will explore the main trends that will drive the industry in the coming months.
