The annual British Designer’s Collective Boutique at Bicester Village celebrated its fifth instalment with the inclusion of some fresh debutante designers and a whooping amount of discount, for the designers’ previous years’ collections.
Collaboration between Bicester Village and the British Fashion Council, the British Designer’s Collective is open through 22nd May to 17th August and features designers like Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto and Jonathan Saunders, alongside freshers such as Michael van der Ham and Ryan Lo.
The event is an effective platform for these young designers who otherwise get fewer opportunities to promote their collections in the mainstream fashion world, along with the giants in the London Fashion Week.
Meanwhile, this year’s collective also features the return of some fashion houses, House of Holland, Lulu & Co, J.W.Anderson, Richard Nicoll, Lucas Nascimento, and Roksanda Ilincic among others. Also, the collective uniquely collaborates this year with The Keeper’s House at The Royal Academy of Arts, which is also the inspiration behind the boutique.
Attending the celebration were avant-garde designers like Emilia Wickstead, J.JS Lee, Ryan Lo, Natalia Barbieri of Bionda Castana, Holly Fulton, Claire Barrow along with the curator Yasmin Sewell and people from The Royal Academy of Art.
