Fashion Forward for 2011
The latest bit of news is that Meadham Kirchhoff, Peter Pilotto and Todd Lynn - designers that all show during London Fashion Week – have been awarded this year’s Fashion Forward prize by the British Fashion Council.
Previous winners of the Coutts & Co sponsored prize include Christopher Kane, Erdem, Giles Deacon and Roksanda Illincic, to name a few--Todd Lynn added: “I’m thrilled to have won Fashion Forward for 2011.
The scheme, sponsored by Coutts and supported by the London Development Agency, has been running for five years - offering funding and mentoring to help London's rising young designers showcase their work at London Fashion Week.
This is the first time that three designers have been awarded the sponsorship, evidence of their meteoric rise in the fashion industry.
Last night Coutts, the poshest bank in London, hosted a very sophisticated mini soiree to announce the recipients of this year’s Fashion Forward sponsorship (paid for by the bank, and organised by the British Fashion Council). CONGRATULATIONS! to Anglo-French Goth rocker duo Meadham Kirchhoff, Canadian-born Todd Lynn and the masters of digital printing, Peter Pilotto! Previous Fashion Forward winners include Christopher Kane, Erdem, Giles Deacon, Jonathan Saunders, Marios Schwab, Richard Nicoll, Roksanda Illincic, and last year’s winner Louise Goldin, who we met over the summer as she extolled the wonders of the "Fashion Forward" scheme.
