They are roses and they will bloom – no doubt, just the certainty that these creatives are already making their mark. From photography to design, art to style, here is who is redefining the rules of the game and who will be impossible to ignore in the months ahead.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Mélissa Cornet – an essential witness to women’s resistance in Afghanistan
Among the emerging creatives to watch out for, Mélissa Cornet stands out for her extraordinary ability to chronicle the world through the lens of photojournalism and research. Winner of the 14th Carmignac Prize for Photojournalism, her work focuses on the plight of women and girls in Afghanistan following the Taliban’s return to power in 2021. A resident of the country since 2018, Mélissa has closely documented the gradual erosion of women’s rights, offering an insider’s perspective on crucial issues such as the food crisis, women workers’ mental health, and women’s resilience in an increasingly hostile environment. Her analyses have been published in internationally prominent newspapers, including The Guardian, BBC and The Times, solidifying her role as an indispensable voice in the global news landscape. Through his work, Cornet does more than simply photograph reality: he interprets it, denounces it, and makes it impossible to ignore.

With an experimental approach that breaks down the boundaries between fashion and art, 95fuxx creates a new way of perceiving clothing: not only as personal expression, but as an ever-evolving visual performance.
