2026 marks a new chapter in the evolution of the Hyères Festival. Born in a town cherished by poets and artists, and housed in the home of illustrious patrons, the Festival remains a breeding ground for the creative avant-garde, where fashion and photography come together.
This year, three women, three internationally renowned creatives and three jury presidents have generously agreed to share their perspectives on the emerging artistic scene in fashion, photography and accessories respectively: Chemena Kamali (Creative Director of Chloé), Camille Vivier (photographer) and Cecilie Bahnsen (founder of the Cecilie Bahnsen fashion house).
The Festival retains the defining features that make it unique: group exhibitions showcasing the finalists, fashion shows, solo exhibitions devoted to the previous year’s winners, workshops exploring exceptional craftsmanship, and talks addressing key issues in fashion and photography.
Festival from 15 to 18 October 2026. Exhibitions until 28 February 2027.
