London - Arab Today
Fashion Scout, the international showcase for fashion innovation and emerging talent, has announced the names of its AW15 Ones to Watch winners. Selected from a shortlist of 50 designers by a panel of industry experts, winners include: Angel Chen, who graduated this year from Central St Martins BA course and has featured in publications such as British Vogue, i-D and The Times; J Moon, a new London label from 2014 LCF graduate Jinhee Moon; Australia native Kim Stevenson who presented at Graduate Fashion Week; and South Korean born designer Minju Kim, who is currently being stocked in Opening Ceremony stores across the UK and USA. Shortlisted for the LVMH prize, a recent Disney collaborator and winner of the 2013 H&M Design Award Kim's aesthetic draws from exaggerated silhouettes, extreme curves and a range of textures. As part of being selected, each designer will be given a collaborative catwalk showcase in addition to an exhibition space per designer at the Freemasons Hall in Covent Garden as part of Fashion Scout's 18th season, running from 20-24th February 2015 (see DIARY dates).
