The Woolmark Prize's European finals will be held in Milan on 28th June, and the jury composition for the women's and men's ready-to-wear awards were announced this Thursday.

The jury that will choose the winner among womenswear designers consists of Laura Lusuardi (Max Mara), Lorenzo Serafini (Philosophy by Lorenzo Serafini), Franca Sozzani (Vogue Italy), Rodolpho Paglialunda (Jil Sander), J.J.Martin (LaDoubleJ, Wallpaper), Jennifer Neyt (Vogue Paris) and Isabel May (Mytheresa).

The menswear jury will instead consist of designer Neil Barrett, Milan Vukmirovic (Ports 1961), Alan Prada (Uomo Vogue), Frédéric Martin Bernard (Le Figaro), Chris Benns (Matchesfashion), Valère Thoelen (Verso) and Fabrizio Servente (The Woolmark Company).

This will be one of the competition's six regional finals. The others will take place in Hong Kong, Sydney, London, Bombay and New York. The winners of the regional competitions will contest the Woolmark Prize's international final in early 2017.
