Fifty thousand euros and the chance to have your wares sold to a global audience? That’s the stuff of rising designers’ dreams—and also the prize for the talent who nabs H&M’s annual Design Award. Today the Swedish retail titan will take to The Orangery at London’s Kensington Palace to host presentations by the young-gun finalists, recent MA and BA grads who will surely be storming a runway near you in the not-too-distant future. A starry jury (this year including the eternally well-heeled Kate Bosworth) will deliberate and select this edition’s winner, but we’re confident you’ll want to read up on all of the final eight. Meet them in the slideshow below, and check back later today to see who takes home the gold.
