We would like to congratulate Hodakova, the winner of this year’s Rising Star Award!⭐ In just a few years, Ellen Hodakova Larsson has received considerable international attention. Channelling a creativity that knows no bounds, she transforms recycled materials into fashion that is both eye-opening and inspirational. Her unique form of expression has registered on the radar of global stars such as Lady Gaga and Cate Blanchett, and in 2024, Hodokova became the first Swedish trademark to be awarded the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers. Hodakova combines exclusivity with classic Swedish hallmarks such as sustainability, quality and innovation, and she has quickly established a position on international markets that is rapidly growing in stature. This year, Hodokova will be receiving a prize designed by the winner of the 2023 Rising Star Award, Hanna Hansdotter. Read the complete text of the jury’s citation on government.se.
