Fashion Scout, the emerging designer platform that takes place during
London Fashion Week, has named the four designers taking part in its
spring/summer 2017 Ones to Watch showcase.
Chosen by a panel of industry experts, this season’s Ones to Watch will
feature Serbian designer Ana Ljubinkovic, Parsons School of Design and
Central Saint Martins graduate Anissa Aida, unisex designer Ester Kubisz,
and
, who recently won the Graduate
Fashion Week Indonesian Residency Award, supported by the British
Council.
The aim of Ones to Watch is to raise the profile of emerging design
talent globally and to help them develop their businesses international and
generate media and buyer exposure. As well as featuring as part of the
collaborative catwalk showcase each designer will feature in the Fashion
Scout London Exhibition during London Fashion Week.
Fashion Scout founder, Martyn Roberts, said: “The Ones to Watch show is
the perfect launch pad for talented new designers. This season’s four
designers present completely different visions of the future of fashion.
This is the success of ones to watch and why it is so popular.”
This year’s Ones to Watch will take place on September 16 at Freemasons’
Hall in London and will be sponsored by UK leading optical retailer
Specsavers.
“We are delighted to be part of this event showcasing talent from up and
coming designers,” said Vickie Arklie from Specsavers buying team. “These
are pioneers of new trends, of which the eyewear industry follows with
great interest. Gone are the days when glasses were just worn through
necessity – they are now widely regarded as a must-have fashion
accessory.”
Previous Ones to Watch winners include J Moon, George Styler, Hannah
Williams, David Koma, Felder Felder, Helen Lawrence, and Eudon Choi.
