The event marked the launch of a thought-provoking exhibition where fashion, art and environmental activism converge \u2014 on the very floor that houses the retailer\u2019s vintage and upcycled collections. Now in its fourth edition, the award, presented by creative recruiting firm Eyes On Talents and the Paris Good Fashion organization, celebrates photographers and visual artists who use aesthetics to drive forward a vision of a more responsible world. \u201cThis award isn\u2019t just about photography, it\u2019s about igniting a worldwide dialogue on sustainability,\u201d organizers said. This year\u2019s laureates, including Clara Chichin, Jeff Rich, Just Willis, and the mononymous Flama, were selected from 73 global submissions.
