How exhibitions fashion design at Central St Martin’s by Charles Jeffrey
While the fashion week in London ends, young designers remain adamant that the British capital remains the best place to get started in business, with ethical concerns in the center of many of the new collections.
Charles Jeffrey is a sophomore in marketing and fashion design at Central St. Martin’s College of Art and Design. The 20 year old says that although his favorite men’s clothing collections are in Paris, would not like to study fashion at any other place.
“London is a hub of creativity, that’s where ideas come from, where people go beyond,” he said.
Despite the economic downturn, the fashion industry remains strong. One recent report of the Fashion Council of Britain (BFC by its acronym in English) values its contribution to the British economy at 21,000 million pounds ($ 32 800 million U.S. dollars).
David Longs haw is a new designer on the British stage. After graduating from St. Martin and complete his mastery of the Royal College of Art, was immediately hired by Italian designer Alberto Ferrety and moved to Milan.
Longs haw returned to England last year to start his own brand, which was quickly named one of the revelations in the fashion week.
His new collection was part of the exclusive jurisdiction BFC / ELLE Talent Launch pad. Longs haw said that although she was happy to go abroad to gain experience in the industry, London had no rivals in its attitude toward young designers.
“There is great excitement about it. In fact, people come here looking for something innovative, something new. They come to see what the next big thing,” said Longs haw.
You may have to do, in part, with a willingness to explore the next frontier of the industry: eco fashion.
This year a massive space called Esthetical was devoted to this concept in Somerset House, the main square of the fashion week in London.
Esthetical started only four years but already has 30 designers who subscribe to its values of sustainability. BFC initiative promotes alternatives that can be used in several steps of the production process, including intelligent design and recyclable products.
