Twenty-one years ago, the first Fashion and Photography Festival was held at Villa Noailles. Today, this Festival has become a renowned and acclaimed event. It has lead to the emergence of such figures as Viktor & Rolf, Gaspard Yurkievich, S�bastien Meunier or Alexandre Mathieu. Eight years running have seen the consecration of photographers, such as Charles Fr�ger, Martha Camarillo or Solve Sundsbo. Fashion professionals come to Villa Noailles every year, to discover new talents, admire fashion shows and reflect together on the prospective of the world of fashion, from design to distribution.
