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
