Carine Roitfeld chaired the ANDAM Fashion Award committee this year which today announced Hakaan Yildirim as the winning designer. I guess La Roitfeld liked what she saw when she flew in during London Fashion Week just for Yildirim's collection. He will show in Paris now and must also open shop in France having won the ANDAM award. Upon learning that he had won, Yildirim said "This is so magical. We are honored.” The other designers chosen for the prestigious award were Mark Fast, Calla Haynes, Bouchra Jarrar, Francesco Scognamiglio, and Alexandre Vauthier.
