FINALISTS OF THE 2025 LVMH PRIZE

AUGUST BARRONby Benjamin Barron & Bror August Vestbø

August Barron is a fashion brand and magazine founded by Benjamin Barron and Bror August Vestbø. August Barron was established as a magazine in 2015, and the first collection was presented in 2019. August Barron’s collections center around recontextualizing existing garments, depicting familiar yet unplaceable characters. Their work draws inspiration from heightened constructions of femininity – a beauty pageant queen, pop star, debutante – and the successes and failures of creating these images. The publication and collections continuously resonate with each other, exploring parallel themes across both platforms.
