Ester Manas and GmbH Among Finalists for ANDAM Prize – WWD
Tue 30 May
Ester Manas, GmbH and Duran Lantink are among the six finalists for the grand prize of the 2023 ANDAM Fashion Award, reflecting a European cohort of designers that have incorporated social and environmental considerations into their brand philosophy.
Brussels-based Ester Manas, founded by Ester Manas and Balthazar Delepierre, is a size-inclusive brand that works mainly with deadstock fabrics, as do GmbH’s Benjamin Huseby and Serhat Isik, established in Berlin. The duo pull inspiration from politics and their multicultural heritage for their designs. (Isik is Turkish German and Huseby is Pakistani Norwegian.)
