After a week of fashion shows and conferences, the Awards ceremony took place on Saturday at the Grimaldi Forum.
A landmark fashion event in the Principality, Monte Carlo Fashion Week (MCFW) celebrated its tenth anniversary this year. Under the High Patronage of Princess Charlene, the event that has been organised since 2013 by the Monegasque Chamber of Fashion stands apart because of its focus on ethical and sustainable fashion.

After the Yacht Club, then the Prince’s Car Collection, the MCFW moved to the Grimaldi Forum on Saturday 20th May, for the Monte-Carlo Fashion Awards Ceremony.
