International

Fashion Showcase 2013

0128
February

Introduction
The International Fashion Showcase is
a festival of emerging designer talent
which launched in London with great
excitement in 2012. We thought of
it as a young fashion parallel to the
Olympics an event with a competitive
angle, but which, equally importantly is
an opportunity for creative talents to
travel, collaborate, learn, gain experience
and make new relationships on an
international platform all the incredibly
valuable side-benefits which help pave
the way to successful careers. The way
it works is that the British Council, in
conjunction with the British Fashion
Council invites the countries of the
world, via their embassies, to bring their
brightest talents to exhibit their clothes
in a way which reflects the character and
creativity of their nations. Thus, in these
few weeks visitors will be able to make
a round the world trip just by visiting the
installations in the many embassies and
galleries around London.
This is your guide to the International
Fashion Showcase 2013. Throughout
February you can experience fashion
from around the globe on your doorstep,
as 27 embassies and national cultural
institutes open their doors and host
exhibitions of emerging talent from their
countries across London. From pages
6 to 53 of this guide you will find details
of all the exhibitions and events being
hosted around the city.
On the inner cover of this guide you will
find your International Fashion Showcase
passport. Your passport will guide you
to each of the exhibitions where you

This event is timed to coincide with

London Fashion Week, meaning that
the International Fashion Showcase will
be seen by the hordes of journalists,
bloggers and retailers who flock to the
city. Uniquely, however, the shows offer
a collective welcome to everyone
with an interest in fashion, whether
professional or not. London has
developed its reputation as a supporter
of the future of fashion by being open
to ideas and innovation from everywhere
as a city we are multicultural, our art
colleges are a magnet for international
students and we are always thrilled to
be able to get the first glimpse of the
new. With all that in mind, we are more
than delighted to offer the worlds visitors

London: Converging Talent

London as a fashion design capital does
not try to imitate Paris, New York, or
Milan it is unapologetically itself. It is a
melting pot of highly skilled international
talent both on and off the catwalk;
a place to take risks and experiment.
Fashion in London is both a high art
form and a commercial success story as
well a space where men's and womens
wear rub shoulders with millinery and
accessories. The British wax lyrical
about fashion. We style it, we photograph
and we film it. We sell it in pioneering
boutiques and exhibit it in world class
museums. The UK is also home to some
of the most innovative art, fashion and
design research institutes in the world.
2

London is the capital of emerging fashion

talent and the International Fashion
Showcase further extends the boundaries
of Fashion Week by inviting designers
from across the globe to showcase their
talents to the public. The Showcase
develops new audiences and markets for
these designers; it extends the focus on
fashion beyond the traditional hotspots,
highlighting equally fertile new grounds.
In doing so, the International Fashion
Showcase reinforces the UK's status as
a creative international hub; connecting
everywhere, reflecting both itself and
the world.

Emerging Talent Award 2013

During London Fashion Week an award
for the best exhibition at the International
Fashion Showcase will be presented
to one of the participating foreign
embassies or national cultural institutes.
In 2012 the award was presented to
the Korean Cultural Centre for their
exhibition, A New Space Around the Body,
which featured the innovative work of
eight South Korean fashion designers.

Fashion: A Common Thread

The International Fashion Showcase
provides a snapshot of some of the most
innovative and exciting young designers
from around the world. It is a chance
to celebrate our common ground and
develop links and practices, to highlight
our differences and learn from each
other. It is through the simple, everyday
processes of dressing and defining
fashion that understanding between
cultures can be promoted at the most
straightforward human level.
The term fashion suggests something
of the instant; something ephemeral,
reflective of a passing moment in time.
But fashion is more than that. Fashion is
also a language that can reveal a great
deal about where cultures have been
and where they are going; it expresses
attitudes, emotions and histories, both
personal and universal. Clothes can
shape economies, while at the same time
providing a visible identity for those who
4

design and wear them. Fashion is

a great storyteller; highlighting both the
differences between cultures and the
common threads of weaves, fabrics and
techniques that transcend geography.

The award will be selected by a panel

of experts, representative of both the
business and cultural spheres of the
fashion industry. Sarah Mower MBE, BFC
Ambassador for Emerging Talent, will
chair the advisory panel, which includes;

The Emerging Talent Award 2013 will be
presented in a ceremony at the British
Fashion Councils Showspace, Somerset
House on 17 February 2013. The winning
project will be presented with a sculpture
created by former NEWGEN recipient,
jeweller Dominic Jones.

Fashion exhibitions draw out these

stories, they urge us to consider fashion
in the context of culture. They give
fashion a deserved equivalence with
traditionally more revered disciplines
such as painting and sculpture; paying
respect to the design process, the
designers, the makers and the wearers.
The rise and success of fashion
exhibitions in major art institutions
around the world reveals societys
growing interest in the industry. The
development of fashion exhibitions and
curation are an important endeavour,
augmenting our understanding of the
stories behind what we wear and why
we wear it.

Left: Maja Talovic Right: Amna Kunovac Zekic

This exhibition aims to present the lack of a

third dimension, in order to show the state of
society seemingly paralysed in post-conflict
Bosnia and Herzegovina. This two-dimensional
statement will illustrate the perceived lack of
this third dimension, or depth, in a society that
is caught in a transitional and troubled state.
Amid the impossibility of progress, the complex

political situation and post-war stagnation,

young artists have created an artificial reality
where they have the power to change this
course of events at least in this exhibition.
MODIKO started as and still is a creative
resistance.

Precise and refined. Resplendent. Decadent.

Subtle and minimalist or eccentric and cuttingedge Just a few ways of describing Romanian
fashion in 2013. Nevertheless, the designers
brought together in The Rest Is Tomorrow prove
it is easier to say what it is not than to describe
what it is. They belong to different generations
and have different aesthetic agendas and
concerns, but are united in reviving and
reimagining the creative potential of Romanian
design, textiles and decorative arts. Their six

brands have established individual identities,

yet together, they open the way to a new

The Dome Room of the former Central Saint

Martins College of Arts and Design will become
a re-creation of the exquisite Plaza de Garzn
in the tiny, semi-ghost town in Uruguay with
which the label is eponymous. Alongside the
debut AW13 collection is a screening of the
atmospheric short film 'La Sombra', which was
shot in Garzn. Combining themes of shadow,
gauchos and horses, the film transports the
viewer to W. H. Hudsons Purple Land where
the label was born. Garzons handmade
pieces are hand-dyed in a palette inspired by
the Uruguayan countryside the dusty pink

unpaved caminos and old brick red estancias.

Combining day and eveningwear, Garzn
changes the usual concept of knitwear from
casual to something with more drama and flair.

Left and right: KIN by Nguyen Cong Tri

Considered the next rising dragon of Asia,

Vietnam can now afford to make unquestioned
sartorial choices. As one of the countrys
inaugural fashion designers, Cong Tri
represents not only these new directions in
consumption but also the countrys kinship
with traditional dress.
Inspired by the natural environment and driven
by his unique relationship to Ao Dai, the national
costume of Vietnam, Tri combines techniques
ranging from the traditional to the cutting
edge. Utilising Vietnams vast market of highly
skilled craftspeople, Tri is forging a new
fashion identity.

Curated by Gemma Williams, this exhibition

investigates if an emerging fashion system
can be distilled from the consciousness of
a single designer.
