Fashion has a unique place in France, and France occupies a distinctive position in the Fashion world. This uniqueness is a strength, a patrimony to maintain. Its future is in the hand of young designers. We need to make concentrated efforts to help, mentor and promote them. The support offered by Fashion prize like ANDAM is absolutely essential, and I welcome the commitment of the industries and federations in its favor. The ministry of Culture is also mobilizing through the Forum de la Mode, whose second edition will be organized this fall. Fashion has always nurtured Culture in our country, it is our responsibility to support those who will bear it tomorrow. – Françoise Nyssen, French minister of Culture
