Fashion London | Spring Summer 2020
Fashion London is the preeminent cost-effective, fully inclusive professional platform for British and International
designers to present during London Fashion Week (LFW). Launched in 2012 by internationally celebrated Executive
Producer and Show Director, Geoff Cox, Fashion London has grown to become one of the most dynamic presentations
on the London Fashion Week calendar.
Cox shares, “I’m honoured and thrilled to be working with another exciting line-up of fabulous designers for the first
season of the new Fashion London format and to be able to support emerging graduate designers with our New Gen
Bursary”.
This season, Fashion London, in collaboration with Make-Up London Academy and Art in Fusion TV, is set to host
three shows on Saturday 14th September. The first presentation – the Fashion Week Model Awards – will take place

nominated by the public as well as leading industry personnel. The Fashion Week Model Awards is sponsored by Top
Model Worldwide in support of the “The Top Model Foundation”, in which proceeds go to sick children and children in
need.
At 5:30 pm IVANA by Ivana de Haan (accessories) will take place, while at 7:30 pm a multi-designer runway
