First Look A/W ’12 Schedule

Let the countdown begin… The British Fashion Council has released a provisional schedule for London Fashion Week in February 2012, with a few noteworthy changes to the mix. Brands joining the line-up for the autumn-winter ’12 shows include Stella McCartney, Dion Lee and Sophie Hulme. Lee, a young Australian designer admired for his artfully draped dresses, will make his London debut with a presentation on Tuesday 21 February. Also presenting for the first time is Sophie Hulme. The BFC/ELLE Launch Pad winner previously showed her work in a small-scale group exhibition. On 20 Feb, she’ll present her designs solo in between the Peter Pilotto and Michael Van Der Ham shows. One of the highest-profile additions to the schedule is Stella McCartney. The designer will show a special capsule collection on 18 Feb ahead of her full A/W ’12 show in Paris. Antoni & Alison and Twenty8Twelve, both of whom took breaks from the main schedule last season, also return with shows. See you at the tents in just 10 weeks… By Emily Cronin
