LVMH was formed in 1987 by Henri Racamier and Alain Chevalier through the merger of Louis Vuitton and Moet Hennesy. The company has about 70 brands under its group including Rihanna’s Fendi, Christian Dior and Sephora. The LVMH competition is a yearly one and the winner takes the 300,000 Euros cash prize.

2020 was different in the history of the competition as all 8 finalists split the cash prize equally among themselves. This year, the 20 semi-finalists will be trimmed further into 8 finalists, who will then participate in the last leg of the competition in Paris.
