British Fashion Council Sends Us a Letter from London
This September we are launching our first monthly online newsletter, Letter from London, that captures top line British fashion industry news. This month needs no introduction – with London Fashion Week, Vodafone London Fashion Weekend and the 5th anniversary of LONDON show ROOMS to look forward to, we can’t think of a more exciting time to reach out and drum up your support for the tremendous amount of British talent that will be showcasing both in the capital and around the world.
On the 13th September we will not only be kicking off London Fashion Week, but will be launching our first ever pop-up shop on-site at Somerset House that will be open to the public and house some of the best names in British contemporary design. This initiative promotes a growing sector of our industry that we are keen to champion. It’s been fascinating putting it together and we’re absolutely delighted that talented set designer, Robert Storey and renowned artist, Sir Peter Blake have been able to inject their creativity into this exciting space. Oxford Street has been decked out with flags to celebrate the UK fashion industry and rally support from the city while our own courtyard at Somerset House is set for a creative transformation with Nicholas Kirkwood’s London Fashion Week artwork on flags, banners, signage and on an incredible mirrored installation.
While there is so much to celebrate right here in the capital, let’s not forget that Britain’s creative talent is global. It kicked off in New York with Victoria Beckham’s show on Sunday and rounds off with Stella McCartney’s show in Paris on the 30th.

In three words, how would you describe London?
"Who's Coming Next. Okay, strictly speaking, that's four words, so Who's Next."
