London Fashion Week 2022 took place as a mixture of physical and digital events in February. We are proud to have launched our #LCFMA22 inaugural catwalk, showroom and exhibition within this, recognising the range of creative LCF talent stepping into industry and highlighting their artistic resilience in the midst of ongoing blended learning practices.
