With Fashion Month right around the corner the eyes of the Fashion World will be on London for more than just the Spring / Summer 2016 trends. That’s right folks, London Fashion Week has a new home. As we know, Somerset House has been the home of #LFW since 2009 and after twelve hectic seasons and countless street stylers pounding the pavements of the square, man those cobbles could talk, but now it’s time for something fresh and new.
Spring / Summer 2016 is all about change and we’ll see the BFC bring to fruition what they’ve promised us for years – a Fashion Week hosted entirely in the West End. The new collections will make their debut at Brewer Street Car Park in Soho. Previously used for fringe shows and events by the likes of Henry Holland, Richard Nicoll and Antonio Berardi, the Spring / Summer 2016 show schedule will see Anthony Vaccarello showcasing his Versus #SS16 collection as part of the #LFW line up for the first time. Perhaps the most exciting debut however, will come from Emma Hill, former Creative Director at Mulberry and credited with bringing Mulberry into the mainstream, Hill will showcase her first and hotly anticipated accessories line, Hill & Friends.
Other newcomers to the #LFW schedule include John Smedley, Amanda Wakeley (hot on the heels of her static presentation for Fall / Winter 2015), Kelly Shaw London and Toga.
London Fashion Week Spring / Summer 2016 runs from September 18th – 23rd and I’ll be there to bring you the latest looks phresh out the runway. With the most jam-packed (draft) schedule #LFW has seen in recent years and the West End as the venue, it looks set to be killer:
