London Fashion Week

The Exhibition is home to around 200 of the hottest designers, showcasing their collections for the international trade audience. This September, the Exhibition included the new creations of Stephen Jones (millinery), Mawi (jewellery), Linda Farrow's vintage and designer collaborations (eyewear), Made in Heaven (denim), Antoni & Alison (RTW), Heidi Klein (swimwear) and Melissa (footwear). There were a number of new initiatives: The Berlin Representative, a collective of three cutting edge designers from Berlin; 101% Brussels Showroom, showcasing six directional designers (RTW and accessories). They sat alongside Glasgow: Scotland with Style, representing the latest talent to come out of Scotland and Valerie Demure's contemporary jewellery from the UK and Europe. There continues to be a hotbed of fresh talent in the capital. This was evident at the Exhibition: BFC New Gen sponsored by TOPSHOP, Fashion East, known for its new designer talent and collaborated by Lulu Kennedy, and at the BFC Fashion Forward café, where the winners' shows were broadcast via LFW TV.
