This week, we're dedicating our Week in Fashion to London Fashion Week. After a buzzing few days of exhibitions, shows and talks, London Fashion Week has drawn to a close.
At the Microsoft flagship on Oxford Street, LCF and Microsoft collaborated during London Fashion Week, whereby visitors could design their own tote bag using designs from BA Fashion Textiles students and the Microsoft Surface. Headed up by Matthew Drinkwater, Head of Fashion Innovation Agency at LCF, the event combined fashion and technology by offering bespoke interactive workshops, led by LCF tutors and industry leaders.
The BFC held a positive fashion talk and breakfast with a panel of designers, activists and influencers to discuss the imminent future of fashion and how incremental change is required. Joined by Arizona Muse, Model and Environmentalist, Bel Jacobs, Extinction Rebellion Activist, Cameron Saul, Bottletop, Tamsin Lejeune, Common Objective and moderated by Tamsin Blanchard. All members of the panel shared their views from a variety of perspectives yet all agreed on one thing; we are in the midst of a climate emergency.
The British Fashion Council released a White Paper in response to the climate emergency, that was co-written by Centre for Sustainable Fashion's Professor Dilys Williams.
We were lucky enough to be invited and took the time to admire the NEWGEN and #POSITIVEFASHION exhibitions.
