It celebrates new talent in Fashion and Music and has played a ginormous role in spotting talent that deserves to be celebrated and honed by carving a path for the newcomers to become stars and let their talent shine through.
In order to pay tribute to the best emerging talent, we’ve structured a list of winners who have blossomed in the past 5 years and are making waves all over the world for their craft. And what do they have in common, the LSA for best emerging talent.
