London Fashion Week Day 1
This London Fashion Week the British Council alongside the British Fashion Council have installed the International Fashion Showcase, now in its fourth year. The initiative aims to celebrate emerging designers from around the world.
The BFC extends the invitation to a curated selection of designers over four days of London Fashion Week held at the Brewer Street Car Park. The catch is that it is open to both the press as well as the public.
When we see the shows from Roksanda, Erdem and Astrid Andersen, we don't think of them as East European, Canadian or Danish-born, rather we see them as bonafide London talent. And that is what defines London Fashion Week. The IFS embodies a certain London fashion spirit that doesn't exist anywhere else in the international fashion landscape. It's a helping hand for young designers from around the world, who wouldn't necessarily get a chance to showcase their work to the industry and an opportunity for London Fashion Week to scout the diamond-in-the-rough designers, who have always been the driving force of London fashion.
