Until the end of March 2026, the agnès b. boutique presents, for the first time, the creations of the winners of the E-Fashion Awards 2025, a competition initiated by the Modart International fashion school.
The E.Fashion Awards reward young French fashion designers committed to sustainable materials, stringent requirements throughout the production chain, limited volumes, and job valorization.
This fashion competition is led by Alessandra Lobba, Head of CSR and Sustainable Development at the Agnès b. brand, and Marie Chérifi, Director of Modart International School.
To show support for this new generation of designers recognized by the competition, the Agnès b. brand dedicates a space to them in the heart of Paris (6 rue du Jour, Paris 1st) until the end of March 2026. This initial initiative could lead to more in the future.
Emilie Kurec and Philomène Tellaroli: two proposals focusing on material upcycling
The featured winners are Emilie Kurec, a student at Modart Lyon, and Philomène Tellaroli, the founder of Séléné Hélios. Their projects revolve around a creative approach to material reuse.
Emilie Kurec’s project is called “Canon”. It involves creating pieces from snow cannon mattress covers. The idea is to recover these covers, made of coated polyester, and transform them into contemporary pieces with a sporty look.
Séléné Hélios is a young luxury upcycling brand, born in spring 2022. Philomène Tellaroli creates unique pieces from curtains from the Hôtel Meurice. This approach, besides reducing environmental impact by not creating new materials, also reflects an emerging fashion trend: a taste for brocade fabrics and the trendy wave around the 18th century.
