In the digital age, the LVMH Prize application process is all online. The competition attracts more than 1000 applicants.

These type of awards have become a key component in the fashion industry, as members of the old guard work on nurturing new talent and the next generation of fashion superstars. Just take a look at the Vogue/CFDA Fashion Fund, which has helped launch the careers of Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne of Public School and Thom Browne.

Serre is now deemed the next talent to watch.
