Emerging Fervour

When we went to see emerging designers last February at Vauxhall Fashion Scout, the only annoying thing was, how difficult it seemed to get your hands on their collections as only a few stores and even fewer online shops stocked some of them. 6 month later and this has all changed as the anticipated ‘Young British Designer’ platform has opened its virutal doors and we can all now own a piece from a talented British emerging designer such as Eudon Choi, Charlotte Taylor, Alice Palmer, Ada Zanditon and many more!!

We love the site, not only for itself (it’s beautifully designed and so well thought through) but for someone to take a chance and support these great hidden talents. We just had to find out a bit more on what makes the ‘Young British Designer’ team tick:

We’ve been excited about the launch of your platform since we’ve heard about it months ago, but please tell us a bit more, what is YoungBritish Designers?

Young British Designers: Young British Designers was established in January this year by the four founding members: Debra Hepburn, Stuart Jackson, Julian Whitehead and myself Adriana Wheatley.

Another Facebook recommendation, this time by Emma from London a la Mode and as exciting as Minna from yesterday.

Charlotte Tailors launched her label this year in February and looking at her collection, we’ll be sticking around for the next one! Strong tailoring, bold silhouettes and sculptured shapes provide canvases for dashes of colour, textures and prints. Charlotte’s vision subtly emphasises the female form, juxtaposing androgynous tones with effortless elegance.

I love the way her Autumn/Winter 2010 collection is described on her site:

Trashy grannies, penguins, old soap operas, movies and the eccentric within provide fuel for the fire in this bold yet elegant collection.

You can lay your hands on these by checking out www.coggles.com or www.youngbritishdesigners.com where here collection will be sold in future (sadly, nothing there yet and www.youngbritishdesigners.com will have to launch first in September).

In the meantime make sure to check out her website and blog.
