Fashion East has built a reputation as the place for nurturing emerging talent. The non-profit incubator was founded in 2000 by Lulu Kennedy, and it counts the likes of Kim Jones, Simone Rocha, Jonathan Anderson and Grace Wales Bonner amongst its star-studded alumni.
For AW25, Fashion East has brought back the same designers as SS25 — Olly Shinder, Nuba and Louther (formerly known as Loutre). In its regular stomping ground of the Old Truman Brewery in East London, with a bar by legendary restaurant Bistrotheque, the Friday night show was abuzz with anticipation.
