The Grand Prize Picto Fashion Photography 2023 award went to a young French photographer Annabelle Foucher whose intriguing works highlight accessories and underscore the purity and organic nature of materials used in fashion. The winner of the Arts and Crafts Profession Picto prize with a grant from le19M, a major Parisian art gallery, was awarded to Soliou Ligali who grew up between Benin and France and whose inspiration is drawn both from his Yoruba culture and his artistic education in France.  Meanwhile the Picto Fashion Photography Award 2023 – the Filippo Roversi Grant  went to the dreamy photographs of Maxime Antony.
