Jury report

There is a confident awkwardness to Julia Seemann's work ; she has produced a very wearable collection but it is one that absolutely possesses a deliberate and punchy identity. She has developed a bold visual language and carefully balances surface experimentation with straightforward form and shape. We enjoyed the materiality of this collection and her use of screen-printing and graphic elements particularly stood out (the graphic elements of the SS17 collection were created in collaboration with the artist Ramon Hungerbühler). As with all of this year's prizewinners in the fashion category, the strength of Seemann's collection is defined by its creative maturity and coherent conceptual vision.
