June 17, 2011 - [Paris] - The Calais-based lace-maker, Noyon-Darquer Group, took part in the Dinard International Festival of Young Fashion Designers for the second time this year and co-sponsored the new Special Lingerie Prize, alongside Allande Lingerie Fine, the French Federation of Lace and Embroidery (FFDB), the Mode City trade show and the Grand Hôtel Barrière.
The Special Lingerie Prize demonstrated its audacious side for this first edition: the award's acting patron, Chantal Thomass, and the members of the judging panel, presided over by Franck Sorbier, chose Maxine WATTAM for her "Kinbaku" collection, inspired by Japanese bondage, for "conceptual intimates with a jewellery-like quality".

The designer, who is already starting to establish a reputation and whose work is available from Selfridges in London, was awarded €5,000 by the Allande Lingerie Fine brand, which will also open the doors of its design studio to create a line for Spring/Summer 2012. Maxine Wattam will also be given a stand at Mode City and lace yardage worth €3,000, as well as technical support from the Noyon-Darquer group.
