Rhian and I were lucky enough to be able to attend a Fashion Fringe roadshow talk on Wednesday.
What is Fashion Fringe?
Fashion Fringe is an annual award platform – founded by Colin McDowell in 2003 in conjunction with IMG Fashion – offering talented emerging designers the chance to launch their label in London through a combined programme of mentoring, studio space, financial support and a catwalk show at London Fashion Week.
We were lucky enough to attend a talk with one of Britians most celebrated designers, who started off his education here in Manchester, before moving to London to attend Central St.Martins. Everyone seemed in awe of the designer and what he has achieved. He was extremely down to earth and appreciated that he did really land on his feet. Talking about Jade Jagger and Kate Moss walking in his very first show in 1997 and his first time in the Vogue offices, strolling in with his first collection in big bags- surreal!
The conversation mainly focused on young designers today trying to make their mark in the industry. Willamson was nothing but encouraging.
A very inspiring man.
