Does this mean the world economy is really recovering from the crisis or the designers just don’t want to miss the celebration of London Fashion Week 25th anniversary?
Hard to say. But what is sure is that the Scottish designer, Jonathan Saunders decided to join the string of top designers – including Burberry, Pringle and Matthew Williamson – to return to the British capital for the Spring/Summer 2010 shows in September.
Jonathan said:
I am absolutely delighted to be returning to show in London this September. London is where I’m based. I have a studio here and it’s very close to my heart and I also have a lot of friends who show in London. Where you show is a combination of where you feel creative and where your business is.”
We are glad to hear such news too. It means we will have a chance to enjoy new amazing designs from the couturier. Can’t wait to see what he presents!
Jonathan Saunders is popular with celebrities, his fan list includes such big names as Thandie Newton and Sienna Miller. He has shown collections at New York Fashion Week for the past two years.
Harold Tillman chairman of the British Fashion Council said:
We are delighted that Jonathan has announced his return to London today as part of our 25 year celebrations. The excitement ahead of September continues to grow.”
Last month, Burberry Prorsum, that prefers to shows in Milan, announced the label will be closing London Fashion Week to mark its anniversary. This is what creative director Christopher Bailey said:
London is our home – it’s the heart of this global luxury brand and the centre of all our creativity.”
