Fashion Forward Applications Open
December 22, 2009 | Levent OZLER
The British Fashion Council today announced it is accepting applications for its internationally recognised talent support scheme Fashion Forward.
Fashion designers that currently show on-schedule at London Fashion Week, and have either received NEWGEN funding within the last three years or are at a similar stage in their business development, are eligible to apply for sponsorship to show at LFW in February 2009.
The scheme, supported by Coutts & Co for the first time in February 2010, was established four years ago to provide funding for talented emerging British designers.
This second stage scheme was introduced to give a further tier of support for the most promising designers as they emerged from NEWGEN.
The award consists of a financial prize, to be used towards producing an on-schedule catwalk show at London Fashion Week, along with access to business support, from supporters including Baker Tilly and Shoosmiths, which provides them with knowledge required to further develop their businesses.
The deadline for entries is January 8, 2010.
