The British Fashion Council (BFC) has announced Craig Green as the winner of the third BFC/GQ Designer Menswear Fund supported by Vertu. The announcement was made at a reception hosted by Caroline Rush CBE, Dylan Jones OBE and Gordon Watson at the Boundary Restaurant in London. Craig Green founded his eponymous label after graduating from the Central Saint Martins MA course in 2012. The Fund is the UK’s biggest menswear prize and was established in September 2013 following the success of the BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund providing one designer with a £150,000 grant to provide necessary infrastructure to take them to the next stage of their business and significant value in kind services as part of a bespoke, high level mentoring support programme over a 12 month period. The BFC/GQ shortlist selection committee includes Dylan Jones OBE, British GQ (Chair); Ben Banks, Fourmarketing; Caroline Rush CBE, British Fashion Council; Charlie Porter, Financial Times; Gordon Watson, Vertu; Helen Seamons, Guardian; Jason Basmajian, Cerruti; Jon Stanley, Vertu; Robert Johnston, British GQ and Stephen Doig, Telegraph Luxury.
