London-based talent incubator Fashion East is combining its womenswear
and menswear shows into one for the first time with its autumn/winter 2020
showcase.
The new-look showcase will take place during London Fashion Week in
February, and will feature three returning talents alongside two newcomers
to the line-up of designers.
London-based footwear designer Ancuta Sarca, who debut her upcycled
trainer/kitten heel
hybrid shoes will be returning, as will experimental menswear and
womenswear designer Gareth Wrighton, and menswear designer and
choreographer Saul Nash.
They will be joined by South Korean designer Goom Heo, who won the
L’Oreal Professionnel Creative Award for her MA collection at Central Saint
Martins, and Albanian womenswear designer Nensi Dojaka, who graduated from
Central Saint Martins in February.
Fashion East’s founder and director, Lulu Kennedy, said on Instagram:
“At Fashion East, we’ve never been concerned with standard gender rules on
the catwalk, so it is natural for us and the progressive designers we
support to make this format switch up at the start of our 20th year.”
