Sébastien Meunier, Artistic Director of Ann Demeulemeester, is member of the jury of the European Fashion Award FASH 2016. The French designer Sebastien Meunier was named Artistic Director of Ann Demeulemeester in 2013, having designed the men’s collection in-house since 2010.

Hailing from Versailles, Meunier abandoned the study of law for fashion and his eponymous label, however an early affinity with Belgian design led to a decade at the right hand of Martin Margiela. His work fuses a seductive awareness of the body with moments of baroque finery and a raw touch. Today Meunier’s vision evolves the house of Ann Demeulemeester into the future with an intimate respect for its illustrious past.
The global European Fashion Award FASH 2016 under the theme “Change” targets especially talented design students from all areas of design beginning with the fourth semester. A second category is open to graduate projects established in 2015.

The registration deadline for the European Fashion Award FASH 2016 was postponed to September 14, the submission deadline is September 25, 2015. The detailed scope of the competition, the entry form and more information are available at www.sdbi.de/en/category/preis/fash-2016/
