Perla Sibani, a graduate of the Department of Jewelry and Fashion at Bezalel, won the 2024 Pierre Cardin Prize for Young Designers. This is one of the most important international competitions in the world, and has been held for several years with the participation of designers from leading academic institutions for fashion studies.

As part of her first place win, Perla will have the privilege of interning at the French brand house for three months.
