To select the best projects, the Rabanne Arts Factory has brought together a jury of international experts from the worlds of fashion and art, chaired by Julien Dossena, Artistic Director of the House, alongside Jefferson Hack, founder of Dazed Media; Venus Lau, curator and writer; and Claude Adjil, curator. Bridget Finn, Director of Art Basel Miami Beach, will also be involved as a mentor.
Rabanne partners with Art Basel as part of the Rabanne Arts Factory
For 58 years, art has been an integral part of the Rabanne mission to galvanize a more visionary, creative and inclusive future. To embody and evolve this commitment, Rabanne launched an ambitious global program dedicated to amplifying the next generation of under-represented digital image-makers through the unique lens of their art.
Following a call for entries in January 2024, made with the support of Dazed, participants were asked to “visualize new realities”. To give this prize all the visibility it deserves, Rabanne has forged an unprecedented partnership with Art Basel, the world's most renowned contemporary art fair, to celebrate the talent of these young artists and offer them an internationally recognised stage.
This collaboration is positioned at the crossroads of art and design, enabling unique creations to emerge in an era where the hybridization of disciplines is becoming more and more prevalent.

The jury will announce the following six winners, selected from three world-renowned art schools (Central Saint Martins in London, Ecole Duperré in Paris and Istituto Marangoni in Florence) as well as from Dazed Club and Community.
The final winner, to be announced in fall, will receive support at different stages of their creative career through a global approach that includes mentoring with Rabanne executives, visibility, image creation and financial support for the creation of their work. They will also have the opportunity to exhibit their work at the Art Basel fair in Miami Beach (December 6th-8th).
