Young designers are not easy. Breaking a fashion can come at a financial and personal cost, and it takes a small army of pattern cutters, studio managers, researchers, and publicists to keep things moving.
To help the British Fashion Council and GQ BFC/GQ Designer Fashion Fund Cold Wall*, Craig Green, E. Tautz and Christopher Shannon to take their brands to the next level.
Last year’s winner VB was North London-based Scottish-Jamaican designer Nicholas Daley, who won the award for his distinctively deconstructed suits in explosive tartans, along with oversized cricket jumpers, peg-leg fisherman’s trousers and oversized tie-dye tees.
Applications for the 2023 BFC/GQ Designer Fashion Fund are now being accepted. The winner will receive a grand sum and invaluable mentoring and advice from the industry’s best talent.
