AV Robertson
It's a pretty big deal when Marc Jacobs takes a seat on your front row, even more so when he's there to witness your Fashion Week debut. Such was the case for Amie Victoria Roberston, a young designer from Manchester whose graduating collection from Central St Martins in 2014 caught the eye of the Marc Jacobs design team leading to stints with the brand in New York and Paris. Fast forward to her debut at London Fashion Week in February this year where she presented a collection packed full with off-duty style staples to a full house (and Marc Jacobs) it's safe to say she's set to do big things. Amie will present her highly anticpated SS17 collection as part of Fashion East this September.
Mary Benson
Fledgling designer Mary Benson has some pretty impressive credentials on her CV already. After interning at Alexander McQueen, Richard Nicoll and Vivienne Westwood, the 25-year old designer participated at her first London Fashion Week as part of British talent development program Fashion East in February. Benson's well-cut designs feature whimsical prints inspired by fantasy and magic.
Roberta Einer
It's hard to believe Roberta Einer only graduated from university a year ago. The Estonian-born designer launched her namesake label a few months later and has since attracted a lot of attention for her heavily embellished designs. Roberta takes traditional couture techniques and applies them in a modern way to create her colourful designs.
Alice Archer
Alice Archer made her London Fashion Week debut in February with a unique collection inspired by 18th century illustrations of London's Kew Gardens. Alice fused print and intricate embroidery to present elaborate and colourful designs with a heavy sense of romance. We can't wait to see what her ss17 colleciton will hold.
