| Dalton, Sibling, Raeburn, Rose, Miller & Bunney will showcase their collections at Mens Fashion Week. |
London’s first “Men’s Only Fashion Week” is only a few weeks
away and it seems that the British fashion industry have scheduled those
dates in their mind, Blackberry, Iphone and their Filofax (it’s a hotly
anticipated affair).
With this amount of publicity surrounding the menswear industry in
the Britain, the British Fashion Council announced their S/S13 Newgen
Award which in effect means the recipient of these awards are the
selected designers to represent their works during the fashion week. The
selected six will receive mentoring and support to showcase their
latest collections at the maiden London Collections: Men 15th – 17th June 2012.
The Chosen 6:
Lou Dalton : Lou studied at the Royal College of
Art. She has previously worked for Hamish Morrow, Stone Island,
Crucianni Knitwear and Charlie Allen.
Design signature: “Rebellious English sportswear with a strong attention to detail.”
Sibling: Design trio Sid Bryan, Joe Bates and
Cozette McCreery comprise “Sibling.” The trio bring with them a strong
scale of experience as they have previously worked with a number of top
name designers.
Design signature: “Colourful, well-made, luxury knitwear for a
man bored with the grey V-neck option.” And not forgetting the shake-up
of luxury wer with cartoon ka-pows of colour and bams of very English
humour.
Christopher Raeburn: Graduated from the Royal College of Art, mainly freelanced as a pattern cutter before setting up his own studio.
Design signature: “Innovative, functional and fun.”
Martine Rose: Martine Rose was a co-founder member
of highly-acclaimed fashion label LMNOP. Their collections were also
sold internationally mainly to Japan and London.
Design signature: Tailored garments made with textiles that offer you a grand-demure with bold colour statements.
Matthew Miller: Like Raeburn Miller also studied at
the Royal College of Art. Before setting up his own label, he worked on
design projects with Umbro and Brioni.
Design signature: “formed from an investigation into
the technological versus the traditional; performance fabrics, tailoring
and sportswear detailing form the basis of the Mr. Matthew Miller
look.”
Andrew Bunney: Originally worked for a vintage
clothing company as a buying specialist and then worked for many other
companies specialising as a designer or a design consultant.
Design signature: “A juggle between making something
that is simple and understandable, with something that is special enough
to have a new or fresh character.”
Our note: We at frontpose can’t wait to see these collection, it’s
going to be great. We feel that this event that is specifically catered
towards just menswear industry is well awaited for, to tell you the
truth we felt that it was about time that the B.F.C. thought to
introduce such a event, when you think about it the mens fashion
industry is worth billions, Britain needed to acknowledge that these
menswear designers need an outlet to also advertise there work.
