Alexis Mabille.

PARIS—Silmo has named fashion designer Alexis Mabille as chairman of the 2024 Silmo d’Or Awards, according to an announcement from Silmo. From Lyon, France, Mabille graduated in 1997 from the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture Parisienne before working with major Parisian fashion houses, according to Silmo. He established his eponymous brand in 2005, which includes men's and women's ready-to-wear, accessory and tailored collections; Mabille is most famous for his iconic bow tie designs, and has been on the official calendar of Haute Couture since 2021, the announcement said.

In addition to fashion, Mabille also designs interiors including his office Beau Bow, private apartments, restaurants and other entertainment venues including Lido in Paris. He began designing limited edition furniture in 2021.

 
 
In a release, Silmo said, “For Alexis Mabille, a person’s overall environment is an essential component that influences their well-being. Just as a silhouette should emphasize the body while still being comfortable and just as a space’s interior should express the personality of its host while being suited to their lifestyle, a pair of glasses should highlight the character of the person wearing them while being functional and durable. By sharing his design expertise and creative vision with the members of the jury of the 2024 Silmo d’Or awards, he will provide valuable insight into this daily object that only needs to be enhanced by a shape, a material or an innovation.”
