The designer has been selected as a semifinalist for the 2026 LVMH Prize alongside her partner Kevin Koheler. The award brings together emerging talents in contemporary fashion, whose collections are rooted in craftsmanship and research.

 

The LVMH Prize for Young Designers has unveiled the 20 semifinalists of its 13th edition, among them IED Madrid alumni and teacher Tíscar Espadas, who thus becomes part of the network of fashion’s next promising talents. 

The collections range from contemporary elegance to the inclusion of unique pieces. Pieces created by semifinalists from 17 countries, who will gather on March 4 and 5 during Paris Fashion Week to present their collections to the press and the prize’s panel of experts, which will be responsible for selecting the eight finalists. 

Together with her partner Kevin Koheler, the designer is among the six genderless brands nominated for the prize. The winner will receive a €400,000 award and mentoring from LVMH teams in areas such as sustainable development, communication, and intellectual property. 

Best of luck!
