Designer support scheme Fashion East returns to London Fashion Week in February 2014 to showcase hand-selected new talents. For autumn / winter 2014 the Fashion East panel of industry experts have selected up-and-coming designers Helen Lawrence and Louise Alsop to join returning designer Ashley Williams. The Fashion East show will take place in the Topshop Showspace. Knitwear designer Helen Lawrence graduated with an MA from Central Saint Martins in 2012 following a textile degree at Chelsea College of Art & Design. Her SS14 collection – made up of a sugared pastel palette – showcased knitted knickers paired with clear PVC skirts, hand-dyed powder pink denim shorts with thigh-high splits and mismatched sweaters held together by her signature scribble stitch embroideries. Louise Alsop joins Fashion East in February 2014 for her debut. Graduating from University of Westminster in June 2013, Louise draws inspiration from subcultures and contemporary art. London Fashion Week ticket requests should be sent to Ella Dror PR.
