This is a brilliant opportunity for any designer, as this award has contributed to the success of some of fashions biggest names such as Viktor and Rolf, Maison Martin Margiela and Jeremy Scott. I just wonder if Mark Fast were to win would he follow in past Brit designers Giles Decon and Gareth Pugh's footsteps and continue to do so in Paris rather than London?
The winners will be announced next month and during Paris Fashion Week this October an Awards ceremony will be held in their honour.
All six possess extraordinary talent but I'm rooting for Hakaan Yildrim and Francesco Scognamiglio, question is who do you hope wins?
