The Beautiful Style

The fashion bible that is British Vogue and the British Fashion Council today launched a joint £200,000 fund to help support uk-based new and up-coming designers. This fund will help the designer both financially and with expert advice.

Alexandra Shulman of the BFC Vogue designers fashion fund said ““It is inspired by the need to support British designers who through their own talent have reached a certain level and built a business, but who need to grow their business now into something more solid.” 

To apply for this fund designers must be based in the UK and already have an established bussiness. They must also be able to ‘demostrate…how the fund would contibute to their growth with a focus on creating an international brand’ the BFC stated.

Harold Tilman will be on the chair for the fund, while Alexandra will be the on the chair for the inaguural judging panel, they will then put together a short-list of designers to interview.
