Parisian trade shows Who's Next and Première Classe have looked for the best new talent with its Future of Fashion programme since 2013. The trade shows and Not Just a Label, the online platform for emerging designers, have announced this year's winners.

This year's Ready-to-Wear winner is Kelly Love, an Australian designer based in London who creates affordale luxury pieces. The Accessories prize went to Väska, a Spanish brand named after the Swedish word for "bag." Designer Ann Sofi Storbacka is of Finnish/Swedish origin and creates her bags by hand.

Both labels will now benefit from extended support and a business plan aiming to raise funds that is worth €20,000. Kelly Love will show her S/S16 collection in the Fame area of Who's Next on September 4-7, and Väska will be on show at Première Classe on the same dates.
