TIFFANY & CO. X CFDA JEWELRY DESIGNER AWARD

Today, Tiffany & Co. and the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) are pleased to announce the Tiffany & Co. x CFDA Jewelry Designer Award. The first-of-its-kind award recognizes outstanding American jewelry designers who are committed to driving inclusivity within the design industry, elevating jewelry design as its own category akin to womenswear and menswear.

Tiffany & Co.與美國時裝設計師協會 (CFDA) 近日欣然宣布聯合創立全新的Tiffany & Co. x CFDA珠寶設計師大獎，以表揚致力推動設計行業多元共融的傑出美國珠寶設計師，成為業界首個同類型獎項，將珠寶設計升格為與男女時裝同等重要的獨立類別。

Participants who are selected will be granted mentorship and an immersive learning experience, delving into the environments that nurture the House’s legacy of inventiveness and unparalleled craftsmanship. One designer among the participants will be selected to receive a yearlong fellowship within Tiffany & Co.’s design department, along with a $50,000 award.

入圍的參賽者將可獲得指導及沉浸式學習體驗，深入探索多年來孕育品牌無邊創意及非凡工藝的環境。其中一位勝出的設計師將獲得50,000美元獎金，並有機會在Tiffany & Co.設計部進行為期一年的帶薪實習。

“The inaugural Tiffany & Co. x CFDA Jewelry Designer Award uplifts Tiffany Atrium’s commitment to fostering lasting change across the jewelry and design industries. With a rich history of supporting inclusivity and creative excellence, Tiffany & Co. continues to be a champion for creative expression and social impact.” said Alexandre Arnault, Executive Vice President of Product, Communications & Industrial, Tiffany & Co.

Tiffany & Co.產品、傳訊及工業執行副總裁Alexandre Arnault表示：「首屆Tiffany & Co. x CFDA珠寶設計師大獎進一步推動Tiffany Atrium對促進珠寶及設計產業不斷變革的承諾。Tiffany & Co. 在支持包容性和卓越創意方面擁有豐富的歷史，將繼續成為創意表達和社會影響力的倡導者。」

“This first-ever award with a sole focus on jewelry is a testament to CFDA’s longstanding commitment and mission to celebrate American creative excellence. Through the CFDA IMPACT program, we are thrilled to partner with Tiffany & Co., a cornerstone House with an iconic heritage, and Tiffany Atrium to identify and cultivate an inclusive next generation of American jewelry designers,” said Steven Kolb, CEO of the CFDA.

CFDA行政總裁Steven Kolb表示：「CFDA破天荒設立珠寶設計的專門獎項，是協會多年來堅持弘揚美國卓越創意的明證。我們非常高興能夠透過CFDA IMPACT計劃，與具標誌性而且歷史悠久的Tiffany & Co.及Tiffany Atrium合作，發掘並培育奉行多元共融理念的新生代美國珠寶設計師。」

This inaugural award signifies a partnership between the House’s Tiffany Atrium social impact platform and the prestigious Council’s CFDA Impact program to foster the next generation of American jewelry designers. Each participant will embody the core pillars of creative excellence, inventiveness and extraordinary savoir faire that have been synonymous with Tiffany & Co. since its establishment in 1837, and which also reflect CFDA’s mission to strengthen American fashion globally by amplifying creative excellence, business longevity and positive impact since its establishment in 1963.

首屆大獎標誌著品牌發揮社會影響力的Tiffany Atrium平台與時裝界久負盛名的CFDA的Impact計劃攜手合作，培育新生代的美國珠寶設計師。每位參賽者既要體現Tiffany & Co.自1837年創立以來所奉行的卓越創意、創新精神和非凡造詣，亦要反映CFDA自 1963 年成立以來，透過推動卓越創意、企業韌力和正面影響，向全球推廣美國時裝的使命。
