Fashion Scout announces new venue for LFW SS20


Fashion Scout, the international showcase for emerging designers, which
has become a fixture of the London Fashion Week schedule, has announced
that it is moving from Freemasons Hall, its home for the past eight years
to Victoria House, Bloomsbury Square, as part of a relaunch of its
off-schedule platform.

The move will see Fashion Scout taking over the 22,000 square foot
basement of Victoria House, a central London Grade II-listed neoclassical
building chosen for its “unique architectural style” that combines
“industrial elements and blank wall canvas” to showcase the work of its
emerging designer line-up.

presentations, for designers from the UK and internationally, as well as a
new exhibition area dedicated to emerging talent. With a full spring/summer
2020 schedule set to be announced early August.

Commenting on the move, Fashion Scout’s creative director Martyn Roberts
said in a statement: “We are extremely excited to announce the rebrand of
