Finalists of the 7th edition of the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers. The top prize will not be handed out in 2020 because of the COVID-19 coronavirus lockdown in Paris where the final judging round was supposed to be held June 5. Instead, the $329,000 prize will split equally among the eight finalists. Image credit: LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers
