Is this the most confusing example of “Adventures in Copyright” ever? The other day, super blogger BryanBoy was perusing various e-commerce sites for some new fall gear (as one does) when he came across a familiar looking sweater by JW Anderson on OKI-NI.
Swarovski just released the list of shows it’ll be sponsoring for Spring 2011. The roster is long, but distinguished:
Prabal Gurung
Juan Carlos Obando
Erdem
GILES
Marios Schwab
Richard Nicoll
Mark Fast
JW Anderson
Holly Fulton
Henry Holland
Michael van der Ham
Louise Goldin
What does a Swarovski sponsorship afford designers?
Smack in the middle of Men’s Fashion Week, the British Fashion Council has announced its NEWGEN menswear class of Spring 2011.
Much like the womenswear recipients, announced June 10, the ten designers will be afforded the opportunity to show their Spring 2011 collections at London Fashion Week this September. And along with £5,000 – £10,000 towards their show costs, they’ll receive free exhibition space, usage of the BFC catwalk and mentoring.
Christopher Shannon, James Long, and JW Anderson will use stage runway shows; Carolyn Massey, Lou Dalton, and Sibling will do presentations; and Christopher Raeburn, James Small, Katie Eary, and Omar Kashoura will create installations.
