As for how the prize money will be allocated, Swarovski said: "it depends entirely on how the designer wants to use the bonus. They really know better than anyone how to use or invest in the bonus."

Designer Peter Pilotto said he and De Vos will use the prize money in fabric research and manufacturing to try new technologies and cooperate with their favorite suppliers.
