41st International Fashion, Photography and Accessories Festival.

2026 marks a new milestone in the evolution of the Hyères Festival. Born in a city dear to the hearts of poets and artists, nestled in the home of illustrious patrons, the Festival remains the cradle of creative avant-garde movements where fashion and photography converge. Whether they are curious visitors, passionate enthusiasts, or industry professionals, for over 40 years festivalgoers have found at Villa Noailles the vibrant energy that keeps the creative pulse beating. This year, three women—three international designers and three jury chairs—have generously agreed to share their perspectives on the emerging artistic scene in fashion, photography, and accessories, respectively: Chemena Kamali (Creative Director at Chloé), Camille Vivier (photographer), and Cecilie Bahnsen (founder of Cecilie Bahnsen). Under the leadership of its new Executive Director, Hugo Lucchino, alongside its new President, Valérie Duport, the art center’s team is envisioning a new artistic direction led by Magalie Guérin, who is partnering with Nataniel N.M. Robert for fashion, Rebecca Cuglietta for photography, and Florence Tétier for accessories. This program is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to change.
