The British Fashion Council (BFC) has detailed an all-new concept for June’s London Fashion Week that, according to a press release, looks to “ignite a cultural moment.” Scheduled to take place from June 7 to 9, the multidisciplinary calendar will include runway shows, fashion exhibitions, cultural programming, panel discussions and more activations with a menswear lens.
Celebrating London Fashion Week’s 40th anniversary, the three-day event will include a “40 for 40” schedule that will feature catwalks, presentations and events from 40 British fashion labels. The BFC has yet to reveal the contents of said schedule.
The summertime event will commence with an event at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, where the BFC will invite three guest curators to highlight work from “Black culture centered around self-love; South Asian culture with focus on pattern, textile and craftsmanship; and queer culture, with a spotlight on young creative voices from the trans community. The three-day fashion extravaganza will conclude with an event at Groucho Club, where designers will be given space to produce various activations. /BGNES
