Last night, the British Fashion Council announced this year’s NEWGEN winners. The program, which is similar to the CFDA’s young designer awards, gives those with extra promise a shot at the big time, or at least London Fashion Week. Christopher Kane, Erdem, Mary Katranzou, Mark Fast—they’ve all gone through NEWGEN sponsorship and emerged to lead the pack of ubiquitous young Brits. This year, Holly Fulton, David Koma, Louise Gray and Michael Van der Ham have won the prize money for the spring summer 2012 season. Van der Ham, who’s currently working on a collaboration with Christian Louboutin, and Fulton have benefited from the sponsorship before thanks to Topshop, they’ve spear headed NEWGEN since 2001. Sarah Mower, the BFC’s Talent Ambassador, said, “This is the first crop of NEWGEN winners who’ll be designing for 2012. In the year of the London Olympics, they’re our best young design athletes: Britain’s Team Fashion, in training to represent this country brilliantly for next summer.” Presentations from Craig Lawrence, Dominic Jones and JW Anderson as well as an installation from Jordan Askill will round out the week’s fresh faces.
