LONDON – The British Fashion Council has revealed the latest crop of Fashion Trust winners, who will receive financial investment and specific guidance to help build “resilient, future-facing” businesses in an increasingly difficult climate for commerce in the U.K.
The winners are Clio Peppiatt, Conner Ives, Nicholas Daley, Paolo Carzana, Patrick McDowell and Tolu Coker, all of whom are familiar faces at London Fashion Week, either on the runway or in the organization’s presentation spaces.
This year’s recipients were selected by a panel chaired by Caroline Issa, BFC board member, CEO and fashion director at Tank. The panel included Barbara Campos, CEO of Joseph; Narmina Marandi, co-chair of the BFC Foundation; Neil Clifford, CEO of Kurt Geiger; and Richard Johnson, chief business officer at LuxExperience.
Laura Weir, CEO of the BFC, said that “as part of our strategy BFC 2030: Access, Creativity, Growth, we have refined the BFC’s prizes and programs, and are committed to support that is focused, meaningful and delivers measurable impact.”
She added the BFC Fashion Trust remains “a vital part of that commitment, demonstrating the value of sustained, strategic support for British fashion businesses. We are proud to support this year’s recipients as they strengthen and scale for their next chapter.”
