Harrods to showcase young fashion talent



STARTING this week, you can now log on to Harrods.com and find amazing, unique pieces from up and coming designers that no one else will be wearing!

On Monday, Harrods launched a new initiative ‘Harrods Launches’ a platform for new designers to showcase their work with each season.

"We are constantly seeking out innovative yet commercial collections. Each London Fashion Week we're always impressed by the ingenuity and ideas displayed and I'm thrilled that this new initiative will help launch the careers of young designers," says Marigay McKee, Harrods' fashion and beauty director.

The talent to note for spring/summer 2010 is Winchester School of Arts and London College of Fashion graduate Manjit Deu and ARTEZ Academy of Arts in Arnhem student Iris van Herpen.

"More than ever our customers want unique pieces from under-the-radar labels that they will not see everyone else wearing," adds McKee.

Deu - who won Collection of The Year for his MA range at London College of Fashion - has become known for his combination of casual classics with a sequin twist and glamorous eveningwear (see picture!), while Van Herpen - who has shown at both Amsterdam and Tokyo Fashion Week - is known for her sculptural and conceptual creations.

Each season, Harrods will add to the line-up. View the collections at www.harrods.com or call 020 7225 5634 for further information.
