Grand Prize
Marie Adam-Leenaerdt won the Grand Prize at the 2026 ANDAM Fashion Awards. A Belgian-born designer, Marie Adam-Leenaerdt graduated from La Cambre in 2020 and launched her label three years later at Paris Fashion Week. Her work is built on restraint that rewards close attention: fluid volumes, an instinct for drape, and a recurring interrogation of what a garment owes the body beneath it. Her aim is for the pieces to be able to adapt to different occasions and different women. "The best pieces are not always the most spectacular, but the ones that stay relevant and become part of everyday life." – Marie Adam-Leenaerdt

Philippe Ramette
Prix de sculpture François Masson
Philippe Ramette was awarded the Prix de sculpture François Masson de la Fondation Louis Le Masson et François Masson – Académie des beaux-arts. Born in 1961, Philippe Ramette lives and works in Paris. For over thirty years, he has been developing a body of work that explores our perception of reality through sculpture, photography and installation. By subverting the laws of physics and exploring the concepts of balance, gravity and contemplation, Philippe Ramette invites the viewer to reflect on their relationship with space, the body and the limits of what is possible. This approach continues today in a significant body of monumental sculpture, notably through several works installed in public spaces, including Éloge du pas de côté, Éloge de la transgression, Éloge du déplacement, or Éloge de la contemplation.

Otobong Nkanga
Sikkens Prize
Otobong Nkanga is the winner of the Sikkens Prize 2026. The Sikkens Prize honours an artist or collective who is pioneering in the field of colour. The prize is awarded to Otobong Nkanga because, in a time that calls for both imagination and responsibility, she shows that the power of colour begins where it awakens – in the earth, in the community, in life itself. The artist will be honoured with the exhibition Humus Blues at the Singer Laren museum, which will open on 26 October, following the awards ceremony, and will run for four months.

Sasha Kurmaz
Kraszna-Krausz Photography Book Award
Sasha Kurmaz, Eyes on Talents member, was awarded the 2026 Kraszna-Krausz Photography Book Award for Red Horse. An ongoing project launched after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Red Horse takes the form of a visual diary. The work conveys Sasha Kurmaz’s personal testimony about life in Ukraine and how it is constantly reshaped under the destructive power of war as he captures both his personal life and the lives of people around him who are trying to survive in conditions of constant danger. "A wild ride through the contemporary realities of war, Red Horse is also a moving meditation on the nature of photography and the value of individual experience," says Diane Smyth, a member of the jury and Editor of the British Journal of Photography and the Photoworks Annual.

Yanma Fofana
MAISON PERRIER Art Prize
Yanma Fofana is the winner of the first edition of the MAISON PERRIER Art Prize. A painter, Yanma Fofana was born in 1999 in France and is based in Paris. Her work takes the family sphere as its starting point and conceives of it as an unstable space of memory, shaped by processes of emergence and erasure. Her paintings depict figures that are often fragmented or held at a distance, moving through spaces that are both constructed and uncertain. Her practice relies on techniques of layering, glazing and erasure, which give rise to shifting surfaces. The colour purple, a recurring feature in her recent works, helps to create an atmosphere that is both intimate and otherworldly. She will soon begin her residency under the mentorship of Amoako Boafo in Accra, Ghana.

Grand Prix Design Parade Van Cleef & Arpels – architecture d’intérieur
The Grand Prix Design Parade Van Cleef & Arpels – architecture d’intérieur was awarded to the French designer Valentin Bayoud for Aqua Primitiva. This installation reinterprets the archetype of the hearth by making water, rather than fire, the central element of a space for contemplation. This sensory experience invites visitors to stand in front of the element at the heart of the installation for a moment of reflective pause. By drawing on different layers of memory, both personal and collective, the project seeks to encourage reflection on our relationship with this essential yet fragile common good: water.

Grand Prix du Jury Design Parade – objet
The Grand Prix du Jury Design Parade – objet was awarded to the Ecuadorian designer Tin Ayala for Huacos. His project reinterprets pre-Columbian Andean ceramics by juxtaposing them with contemporary popular culture, subtly exploring cultural heritage, identities and the effects of colonisation. The prize he is receiving includes, notably, a one-year residency at the Cirva, Centre international de recherche sur le verre et les arts plastiques, in Marseille.
