Congratulations to Vauxhall Fashion Scout designers Alice Palmer and Jade Kang!

The two designers were selected by John Galliano as finalists for this year’s Fashion Fringe. The finalists were revealed at The Ivy on Friday night and the celebratory party included fellow Vauxhall Fashion Scout star and Merit Award winner William Tempest.

Alice Palmer was part of our first ever Ones To Watch show three seasons ago. This show propelled her into the industry, securing two stand alone catwalk shows in the following seasons. Palmer also exhibited at the Fashion Scout’s Paris Showroom last season and was a big hit with the buyers. Alice told Fashion Scout today “Being a finalist in Fashion Fringe still doesn’t feel real but I am sure once we start the intensive mentoring programme it will be. We met with John Galliano and he was such a lovely guy!”

Jang Kang first launched his label with Vauxhall Fashion Scout with a solo catwalk show. Showing twice at Fashion Scout Jade regularly attended our Mentoring Evenings which he says helped him build his business.

We are so proud of our designers and that we were able to help them reach towards their dreams. Their success shows that designers that continue to learn and grow can get what they want.
