The Hyères International Festival of Fashion and Photography has revealed the names of its jury presidents for 2018. Berluti creative director Haider Ackermann will head the fashion jury, while Christelle Kocher will oversee the accessories prize and Bettina Rheims will take charge of the photography section. 

They will be accompanied by other industry personalities and professionals from April 26 to 30, as they lead the festival dedicated to new talents. The names of the ten finalists in each category will be revealed this Wednesday, during an event organized at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. 

At the festival's last edition, the fashion jury was headed by Schiaparelli style director Bertrand Guyon, who also took advantage of the festival to announce the brand's relaunch. Footwear designer Pierre Hardy was chosen to lead the jury of the first edition of the festival's accessories competition.
