Introducing Eddy Anemian, winner of the H&M Design Award The French winner of H&M's Design Award was unveiled to an international audience at Mercedes Benz Stockholm Fashion Week Eddy Anemian has been crowned the winner of H&M's global Design Award prize - an accolade that saw the fourth year fashion studies student at La Cambre in Brussels triumph over eight other semi-finalists from top-tier fashion schools. The prize sees Anemian walk away with a cash injection of €50,000. The Swedish retailer will also be developing pieces from the collection to be sold in stores this autumn in at least 12 countries under the creative mentorship from Ann-Sofie Johansson, H&M's creative head of design.

She added: "He is a worthy winner, and a bright new star for fashion's future." The burgeoning talent also had to win over a fashion jury made up of highly-respected fashion figures that included London Fashion Week designer Erdem; Vogue's Serena Hood and actress Michelle Dockery - who chose Anemian's floral collection over prospective talent from thirty-two schools across Europe and America.

The floral range that earned Anemian the golden ticket is inspired by Tilda Swinton's character in Luca Guadagnino's film I Am Love, as well as the French painter, Ingres. Titled 'They Can Cut All Flowers, They Cannot Keep Spring From Coming' the collection also had a strong influence of Haute Couture and was made up of lengthy strips of upholstery fabrics that were re-imagined and sewn together into well-designed and elegant shapes. Speaking of the collection, Anemian said: "I like the idea of sensuality, and perhaps even glamour. I wouldn't object to that description. But I don't want any nudity. Rather, I tend to cover the body, and I just wanted to play with proportion - the idea of lots of patterns, or cutting jackets with really high collars that make you carry your head in an aristocratic way.
