ABOUT ANDAM

“I created the ANDAM fashion awards 30 years ago to identify and support  the emerging talents of contemporary designers who contribute to the dynamism of our creative industry. I am very grateful for the mobilization of public institutions and private patrons, thanks to whom we can pursue a cause essential  to the emergence of a new generation of designers in paris, the sustainability  of the French fashion scene and its inherent ‘savoirs-faire’.” –NATHALIE DUFOUR, FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR, ANDAM
