Watch the 2022 Fendi Vanguard Award Winners Take Center Stage
This year's Fendi Vanguard Award winners speak candidly about the power of their craft, as both an art and a piece of their identity.
Every year, Fendi celebrates emerging artists by awarding four students at The Juilliard School with the Fendi Vanguard Award, a scholarship for students that offers both a financial prize as well as performing and mentorship opportunities through Fendi. This year's winners are Raven Joseph (BFA ’23, dance), Mary Beth Nelson (Master of Music ’23, voice), Peter Lim (Master of Music ’23, historical performance), and Stella Everett (BFA ’23, drama).
For L'OFFICIEL Art's Fall 2022 issue, Fendi dressed the 2022 Fendi Vanguard Award winners in the brand's Spring/Summer 2022 and Resort 2022 collections for a photoshoot that captures the versatility of art, from fashion to performance. Below, Joseph, Nelson, Lim, and Everett open up about the hard work and dedication it takes to see their dreams fulfilled.
