The winner of each ANDAM Fashion Award category receives the opportunity to work with a mentor, a representative of the fashion industry, who will work with the designer for a year to help with brand development. Guillaume de Seynes, vice president of the Hermès fashion house, became such a mentor in the accessories category.
The ANDAM Prize (Association Nationale pour le Developpement des Arts de la Mode — National Association for the Development of the Fashion Arts) was founded in 1989 by Nathalie Dufour as a joint project of the French Ministry of Culture and the DEFI. In the beginning only French designers were allowed to take part in the contest, but since 2005 designers from all over the world got such an opportunity.
