British Fashion Council and Vogue have announced the BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund shortlist 2015. The nominees are Emilia Wickstead, Holly Fulton, Mary Katrantzou, Michael van der Ham, Mother of Pearl, Osman, and Sophia Webster. Shortlisted by the Fund Judging Committee, each of the nominated designers was selected as they are in a strong position to develop into a global designer brand and represent the best of London’s thriving fashion talent. The BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund provides one designer with a bespoke, high level mentoring support programme over a twelve month period, as well as a £200,000 grant to provide necessary infrastructure to take them to the next stage in their business. The winner of the award will be announced March 24.
