Grand Prize
Meryll Rogge has been awarded the Grand Prize of the 2025 ANDAM Fashion Awards. A Belgian-born designer and ANDAM finalist last year, Meryll Rogge was the first woman to be named Designer of the Year at the 2024 Belgian Fashion Awards and was a finalist in the 2025 Woolmark Prize. Having shown her collections in Paris since 2021, she held her first fashion show in March, presenting a collection she deemed her "most developed pieces". These were among the designs she showed to the ANDAM jury, who was impressed by her compelling artistic vision, her bold experimentation with shapes and patterns, and her remarkable talent for creating pieces that are both statement-making and wearable.

Sarah Lévy
Accessories Prize
Belgian designer Sarah Lévy of Sarahlevy won the 2025 Accessories Prize ahead of footwear designer Philéo Landowski and jeweler Marco Panconesi, which comes with an endowment and mentoring by Sophie Delafontaine, creative director of Longchamp. Sarah Lévy turns everyday gestures into playful, poetic accessories. Her upcycled leather creations link art and function, crafting accessories that stand out for their thoughtful design and subtle originality. Her exploration of the body, space and everyday habits fuels an experimental approach to accessories, where leather goods, glove-making, jewlery and industrial design intersect.

Grand Prix Design Parade Toulon Van Cleef & Arpels
The Grand Prix Design Parade Toulon Van Cleef & Arpels has been awarded to Thomas Takada for his project Au point calme d'un monde qui tourne [At the still point of the turning world], taken from a poem by T.S. Elliot. Paris-based architect and artist Thomas Takada was inspired by the sense of alienation and abstraction in our physical environment. His installation is made up of plant elements gleaned from around the Villa Noailles - leaves, branches, pebbles - assembled using standardised metal profiles to create highly fragile interdependent structures. The installation seeks to reconcile us with our environment. The work is both poetic and critical, questioning contemporary materiality and rehabilitating the organic in the field of creation.

Simon Dupety
Grand Prix Design Parade Hyères
The Grand Prix Design Parade Hyères has been awarded to Simon Dupety for his project UFO – Unindustrial Functional Object. The Paris-based designer orchestrates an unexpected encounter between nature and industry: oak acorns, harvested in the forest, are combined with aluminium sections and small LEDs to create a series of unique lights. The work, which takes a slow, thoughtful approach to time, moves away from standards to better celebrate the alterity of form.
