COTTON USA has announced Faustine Steinmetz as the latest recipient of its London Fashion Week sponsorship. The advocacy programme encourages new designers to showcase their talent and bring the vision for their collection to life through the versatility of US cotton. Now entering its twelfth year, the sponsorship programme offers a platform for budding designers to elevate their work. Former recipients of the COTTON USA sponsorship include Richard Nicholl, Meadham Kirchhoff, PPQ, Preen, Louise Gray palmer//harding and Lucas Nascimento. A previous recipient of the TopShop NEWGEN initiative, Steinmetz puts her own twist on iconic pieces by making every single item by hand, including weaving her own fabric. Every garment is meticulously created, with each fabric handwoven using a traditional handloom in her London studio. This attention to detail to create quality, long-lasting garments is just one of the merits that made Steinmetz a great fit for the COTTON USA sponsorship. Faustine Steinmetz will show her autumn/winter 2015 collection at Somerset House on February 21.
