I was extremely lucky to of worked over the summer with the British Fashion Council which I then was able to work during fashion week. It was interesting to learn how the British Fashion Council discover and sponsor new emerging talents within the fashion industry. They introduced a BFC NEWGEN sponsorship, which is supported by Topshop and the designers get to show at London Fashion Week.
After meeting all the NEWGEN designers and seeing their collections up close, it was an amazing experience and an experience I wish to do again.
I particularly fell in love with David Koma and Holly Fulton their collections where amazing and so inspirational; they were also very genuine and lovely people.
I was increasingly excited to see the winners of autumn/winter 2011 who will be showing at London Fashion Week in February 2011 so here they are.....
