FW11 looks by next season's NEWGEN winners David Koma, Holly Fulton, Louise Gray and Michael van der Ham
I’m almost paralysed by how close this headline makes 2012 feel! Too close for comfort. The newly minted NEWGEN (and NEWGEN MEN) winners may feel differently. On Tuesday afternoon they were revealed in London at Tom’s Terrace, Somerset House. Sarah Mower invited the press in her capacity as BFC Ambassador for Emerging Talent to meet the winners who will get a chance to show their collections at London Fashion Week in September.
Catwalk sponsorship: David Koma, Holly Fulton, Louise Gray and Michael van der Ham
Presentation sponsorship: Christopher Raeburn, Craig Lawrence, Dominic Jones, J.W. Anderson and Nasir Mazhar
Installation sponsorship: Jordan Askill and SISTER by SIBLING
Exhibition sponsorship: Felicity Brown, J. JS Lee, James Long, Palmer//Harding, Thomas Tait and Tim Soar Woman
The sponsorship was established in 1993 and has been supported by TopShop for about 10 years now. The British Fashion Council calls it their ‘fashion design talent identification scheme’ and there’s no arguing with the fact that the programme has helped many designers at the beginning of their careers. Past winners include fashion greats such as Alexander McQueen, Giles Deacon, Jonathan Saunders, Christopher Kane and Marios Schwab. International media and buyers pay close attention to NEWGEN.
Despite providing financial support, NEWGEN also offers business and mentoring support through the BFC in partnership with Shoosmiths, Baker Tilley and Lloyds TSB.
