Fashion Fringe semi-finalists

Talent platform Fashion Fringe agreed on 11 designers for the next round including Aidan Drago,

Bethan Juliff, Danielle Jade Windsor, Fyodor Golan, Heidi Leung, Jiyun Lapthorne, Kimberley Giacomelli, Liz Black, Nabil El-Naya, Nika Urbas and Sam Parsons.

Making this year’s selection at The Hospital Club, the Fashion Fringe judging panel is made up of designer Roland Mouret, model Claudia Schiffer, Anne Pitcher of Selfridges, Roy Peach of London College of Fashion, and Metro’s Bel Jacobs.

On choosing the 11 finalists Colin McDowell, founder of Fashion Fringe said: “There was an energy but a seriousness in our choices this year because, as several members of the jury who have worked with us before have said, this is potentially the strongest line up we have had in our eight years.”

The final three candidates will be chosen after a board interview, at a party on Tuesday 24 May. The selected candidates will then be given studio space throughout the summer to work on their Fashion Fringe capsule collections for London Fashion Week in September.
