Cape Town chef set to leave for international competition

The chefs will submit their signature dishes to a jury of seven famous international chefs: Gastón Acurio, Yannick Alléno, Massimo Bottura, Margot Janse, Yoshihiro Narisawa, Joan Roca, and Grant Achatz.

The Grand Finale event will be full of surprises. Thanks to the partnership with Vogue Italia, other important prizes will be awarded. Vogue Italia matched each young chef with an emerging designer, selected through an international scouting. The designers conceived a fashion creation inspired by their partner's signature dish, giving birth to an unprecedented fusion between fine food and style.

During the Grand Finale, two prizes for the the Best Chef-Designer couple will be awarded. One will be selected thanks to the votes of all the guests attending the event, a parterre made of VIPs, influencers, chefs, and international journalists. The other will be assigned via Vogue.it, the online edition of the magazine, where all the chef and designer creations have been published, enabling food and fashion lovers from around the world to vote for their favourite.

Best Designer

Last but not least, the best talented designers will also receive an award assigned by Vogue Italia as Best Designer. This will be determined by a jury led by Franca Sozzani, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Italia, Editorial Director of Condé Nast Italia. Global Ambassador against Hunger ( WFP), and composed by Massimiliano Giorgetti, Ennio Capasa, Alberta Ferretti, Sara Maino, Marlene Taschen, Giò Marconi.
