We are delighted to announce Hannah Williams, Helen Lawrence and Renli Su as the Ones To Watch designers for SS14.
Winner of the Graduate
Fashion Week Innovation and Womenswear Awards, Hannah Williams has already
captured the attention of leading international media. Her silicone moulded
pieces and unusual fabric combinations aim to challenge the unconventional and
her stand out design skills have resulted in a collaboration collection with
one of the world’s leading retailers.
Central Saint Martins MA
graduate, Helen Lawrence, received her design training under the skilled hands
of Alexander McQueen and Mark Fast. Since graduating, Helen has collaborated
with menswear designer Craig Green, and her ability of combining innovative
techniques with unconventional fabrics and highly creative textiles is quickly
garnering the interest of the fashion press.
A graduate of the
prestigious China Central Academy of Fine Arts, Renli completed an MA in
Fashion Design and Technology at LCF. The young designer’s fresh take on
approach and form depicts an intrinsic bond between the wearer and the
collection. With a return to nature, Renli works with reconstructed fabrics and
hand-made techniques to create pieces of impeccable craftsmanship.
