Britain is well-known for producing some of the best edgy and innovative emerging designers in the industry. Having a good collection is no longer enough to create a successful fashion business. With this in mind, in 2006 the British Fashion Council created a sponsorship programme called Fashion Forward, a branch of their New Gen scheme. The initiative aims to help support new designers into the industry, giving them the necessary tools to succeed with a dedicated programme of support over two seasons. Previous winners include Giles Deacon, Jonathan Saunders, RichardNicoll, Jens Laugesen and Sinha-Stanic.
Winners are selected by industry experts based on the designers’ talent and potential for growth
Christopher Kane, Erdem and Marios Schwab are being awarded Fashion Forward September 2008, receiving sponsorship for the first-time. Roksanda Ilincic is a recipient for the second time.
