Fashion forward

The Fashion Forward scheme sponsored by Coutts & Co and supported by the London Development Agency, was established 4 years ago to provide funding to talented emerging British designers to show and develop their businesses in London.
London Fashion Week is the most creative and dynamic event on the international fashion calendar promoting established and emerging British design talent to a global audience. Fashion Forward is a key British Fashion Council initiative to promote emerging design talent. The award provides the winner with a cash prize to showcase their collection and access to knowledge to develop their business.

Previous winners include Christopher Kane, Erdem and Marios Schwab, Giles Deacon, Jonathan Saunders and Richard Nicoll.

The autumn/winter 2010 winner is:

Louise Goldin

Louise Goldin’s cutting edge, pastel SS10 collection was an elegant and upbeat showcase of her pioneering techniques and a highly accurate reflection of her reputation as being at the vanguard of knitwear design.  Goldin's powerful silhouettes and body contouring defy traditional knitwear structures.
