HYÈRES FESTIVAL 2026: SAY HELLO TO THE FINALISTS
This year, American Vintage is celebrating an anniversary: 10 years of collaboration with the Hyères International Festival of Fashion, Photography and Accessories.
Edition after edition, we continue to celebrate a new artistic generation from all over the world.
The 10 finalists
As every year, the jury (this time chaired by photographer Camille Vivier) has selected 10 finalists. Competing for the Grand Prix, they are also vying for the American Vintage Photography Prize.
What were they asked to do? To interpret the brand's style in a single photograph; the photographs will be exhibited throughout the festival.
One winner
The winner will be given carte blanche to create an exclusive series of photographs.
A special exhibition
During the Festival, Gabriel Mrabi (2025 winner of the American Vintage Photography Prize) will exhibit his Clock Scenes.
With this series, the Spanish-Moroccan artist explores, with a touch of surrealism, the notion of time passing… while paying tribute to the former figure of Villa Noailles, where the festivities take place.
I'm convinced that some things belong to the realm of metaphysics: with this work, I wanted to summon Marie-Laure Noailles, but also to stop the clocks, because time passes far too quickly…"
