The Council has just announced its annual programme of talent support is back after last year’s mid-pandemic pause – and this year’s recipients are expectedly major.

Today marks the re-launch of Browns Focus, the boutique’s brand spanking new home for forward-facing designers, such as Conner Ives, Maximilian Davis, Commission and Mariah Esa.

Designers like Ahluwalia, Saul Nash, Bianca Saunders and the emerging grads from Central Saint Martins’ MA Fashion course are reigniting the flame. Here, THE FACE charts their unstoppable rise.

In an experimental AW21 collection titled Superimpose, the menswear designer explores the offbeat works of Man Ray, Erwin Wurm and Jean Cocteau for pieces that defy gravity and play to her strengths.

Following last year’s successful exhibition-cum-knees up in London, curator Ben Broome returns with his fifth instalment in Paris. Masks on, go see work by Frank LeBon, Bianca Saunders, Rhea Dillon and more.

The designer makes club-ready clothes, dons men in mesh and studied at the fancy Royal College of Art. Now she’s listed as one of Forbes’ annual 30 Under 30. Naturally, we got on the phone to send our congrats.
