Vauxhall Fashion Scout spoke to the Senior Fashion Editor of Vogue Italia, Sara Maino, as she was browsing through the designers featured in our Exhibition Space:
“I never think it’s very nice to say who our favourite designers are here, but Vauxhall Fashion Scout offers an opportunity for research into new talented designers. I think this is the most important thing. It’s nice because you can see a really high quality of work mixed with the origins of the designers; sometimes you can really see the influence of their traditions and heritage. There are a few designers who are really talented, and others who are just beginning and have to still go through some experiences. I think it’s really interesting because you have a complete visualisation of what is happening with designers who are only just leaving school. It’s always really amazing to come here and look at what is happening.
Usually I always make contact with all of the designers, because even if someone doesn’t seem so interesting now, they might do next season. So I try to keep in touch with all of the designers throughout the year.”
