SEMI-FINALIST OF THE 2024 LVMH PRIZE

Vautraitby Yonathan Carmel

Vautrait was established in 2021 by Yonathan Carmel. The brand champions traditional crafts as the key to sustainable creations that shape and accompany the body over the course of its life. The evolution of the body echoes the passage of time, developing and revealing new qualities and properties, just like vintage wine transcends the grapes its contains. The body should not be controlled and transformed artificially to embody an aesthetic ideal. On the contrary, embracing the signs of age thus emboldens Vautrait’s designs that shun a system and its unattainable standards, focused on establishing something that is temporary and disposable.
