The British Fashion Council has named the designers

showcasing as part of Headonism, the platform supporting and celebrating UK’s emerging milliners, at London Fashion Week next month.

Returning to Somerset House this September are Aurora Ozma, Emma Yeo, Moody & Farrell and William Chambers alongside Keeley Hunter, who will debut with the scheme for Spring/Summer 2014.

The five SS14 millinery collections will be exhibited in the Designer Showrooms throughout London Fashion Week, and the exhibition will be celebrated with a launch party on September 13 hosted by the initiative's curator Stephen Jones.

In addition, world renowned milliner, Piers Atkinson, who was previously part of the Headonism scheme, will also be showing his SS14 collection at Somerset House over London Fashion Week.

Caroline Rush, CEO of the British Fashion Council, said: “Season on season, the Headonism initiative just keeps getting stronger as they continue to take the world of hat making by storm – and it’s with great thanks to Stephen and all the talented designers involved.

“This September, I’m really looking forward to seeing the SS14 collections from this diverse group who together work so well, yet as individuals have completely unique design aesthetics”.

Headonism launched in 2009, during the BFC’s 25 year celebrations by Mayor of London, Boris Johnson.
