"We are thrilled that
two candidates from Die Angewandte have applied for the first edition of the new Louis Vuitton Accessories Design Graduates
Initiative " says a delighted Baron Osuna from Louis Vuitton. The project manager of Louis Vuitton's new design competition
was in Vienna to meet the students from the Fashion Department in person and took a closer look at their study environment:
"The University of Applied Arts Vienna is unique. As a public University, it puts a lot of energy in forming new talents and
supporting their creativity, thanks to exceptional professors like Craig Green and before him for instance Grace Wales Bonner.
The Angewandte lives for excellence, which is why we have chosen to partner with them."
The
Louis Vuitton Accessories Design Graduates Initiative is a new recruiting and support programme launched by the French luxury
label. The Angewandte Fashion Department was the only one in Austria to be selected to enable its students to take part in
this design competition. Two of them submitted their designs in January 2024. The final selection of the five winners from
a total of 24 European design universities by the jury will take place in May 2024. The prize is a position in the Louis Vuitton
design team in Paris.
