London Fashion Week: Ones to Watch


As London Fashion Week commences we look at 3 designers on the rise, getting set to present their collections during London Fashion Week.

Richard Malone

Richard Malone, who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in fashion last year from Central Saint Martins, has already attracted the attention of some of the industry’s big guns — in 2013 he was awarded the Grand Prix LVMH scholarship, which supported his graduate collection. After launching his own label last February for fall, the Ireland-born, London-based designer will show in September for the first time as part of the Topshop-sponsored Fashion East collective on Sept. 19.

Marta Jakubowski

A recent graduate of the Masters of Arts program at the Royal College of Art, Marta Jakubowski believes it was work, rather than study, that set her on her path.
Polish-born and German-raised, the designer honed her design skills working with Hussein Chalayan, Alexander Wang, Jonathan Saunders and Bruno Pieters before setting up her own label last year, after earning her degree.

JH.ZANE

After graduating in 2011 from Winchester School of Art, JH Zane trained at Katie Eary’s and Gareth Pugh’s studios, whilst at the same time establishing himself as a free-lance stylist.

Androgyny is the key style reflected throughout JH.ZANE’s designs. As the “concept” of fashion design has become significantly more important in recent years, JH.ZANE as a label aims and delights in getting back to basics, combining subtle details with classic silhouettes,new textures and print.
