London Fashion Week joins forces with the Baftas
An announcement yesterday heralds a new era for fashion and film in the UK, the British Fashion Council is joining forces with Bafta “create and develop links between London’s fashion and film industries”. This sets the stage for next week when London Fashion Week and the Baftas coincide making it a glamorous week in the capital. After the huge success of the 25th anniversary of London Fashion Week in September last year now is a great time to boost the popularity with two huge events that take place in the capital.
Designers will be fighting to have their newest creations show cased on the stars who attend the Baftas not to mention the ones who are up for awards, it will be a great way to advertise but also give the Baftas the style boost it lacks compared to our American counterparts who manage style so easily for their awards shows like the Oscars. On the first day of Fashion Week designers get the chance to speak to nominees at a cocktail party held by Lancôme and British actress Kate Winslet in the hope of getting them into their creations for the big night.
