New York, London, Milan, and Paris are gearing up and getting ready for their Fashion Month contributions. The designers for London Fashion Week are creating, tweaking, re-creating, and finalizing their masterpieces that are sure to be flabbergasting and astounding. The Big 4 are ready to hit the runways with their four back to back fashion weeks kicking off with the Big Apple, going into Big Ben’s home, before hitting the Fashion Capital and ending with a bang in the City of Lights.
It’s clear that the winds of style are changing, especially when designers like Victoria Beckham acknowledge the change, “When I started out in fashion, everything had to be structured, tight and controlling. And, now, I’m at a point where I think – I could wear a great big parka [windproof jacket], that could be quite fabulous. I haven’t always got to show off my size, show off my shape. It’s a turning point for me.”
There aren’t any fashionistas that can contain their excitement as this time draws nearer, which begs the question, where did it all begin? How did New York, London, Milan, and Paris come to have their own Fashion Weeks?
London’s Fashion Week is the youngest of the four at the age of 35. The British Fashion Council [BFC] along with the London Development Agency [LDA] and Department for Business, Innovation, and Skills [BIS} in October of 1983.
But, unlike the other Fashion Weeks, this retail-focused event doesn’t end when all the designers have had their say on the runway. The London Fashion Week Festival [LFWF] kicks off right after with a 4-day event that is open to the public. This is when consumers get the chance to buy the designs that sparks their interest as they walk the catwalk.
That was then, but here we are in 2018 in the run-up to the Spring/Summer collection, anxiously waiting to see what these designers have in store!
