Fashion East reveals AW15 designer line-up

Fashion East, the non-profit designer support scheme, has revealed its lineup for Autumn/Winter 2015, which will see two new names presenting their collections during the official London Fashion Week agenda, as the fashion incubator aims to shake things up.

Westminster graduate Mary Benson and Central Saint Martins alumni Caitlin Price will showcase their work alongside with Ed Marler, who returns to the line-up for a second time. The organization has opted to rearrange its format from presenting the designers collections in a single collective show at the Topshop Show Space, to hosting two static presentations for the women's wear graduates and one catwalk show for the returning Marler.

"The team and our panel all feel strongly that young designers need to showcase their collections in the way that suits them best, so this season instead of the usual group runway show I'm excited that we're accommodating our two brilliant newcomers with presentations that can really draw guests into their world," explained Fashion East founder and director Lulu Kennedy in a statement.

"We'll also be showing Ed's second collection in an intimate salon show - all under one roof at the incredible ICA, one of my favourite places in London." The trio of selected designers will be following in the steps of former Fashion East designers, which include Simone Rocha, Jonathan Saunders and Marques Almeida and Simone Rocha, who have all earned success in their own rights.
