I tak ten smutny dzie\u0144 zako\u0144czy\u0142 si\u0119 akcentem zdecydowanie pozytywnym \/ September 4th started off on a sad note, with news of the passing of @therealpeterlindbergh. Delphine Arnault paid tribute to the great photographer in her opening speech at the @lvmhprize ceremony, held at the @fondationlv in Paris. Then, with most of the jury in attendance \u2013 among them @nicolasghesquiere (@louisvuitton), @mariagraziachiuri (@dior), @clarewaightkeller (@givenchyofficial), @jonathan.anderson (@loewe), @kris_van_assche (@berluti) \u2013 @hedmayner from Israel was awarded the Special Prize, renamed recently the Prix Karl Lagerfeld, while the 2019 LVMH Prize was presented by Alicia Vikander to @thebemagugu of South Africa.
