Bright Young Things come to Selfridges



The buying and creative teams at Selfridges have scoured the UK to find the most creative and exciting new names from the worlds of fashion and art.  Naming them The Bright Young Things, they gave each a window in Selfridges and a chance to create pieces to go onsale in the shop.

Covering fashion and accessory designers, jewellers, milliners, set and prop designers, illustrators and an art collective, The Bright Young Things are a celebration of young talented individuals in the fashion industry, a theme close to Fashion Antidote’s heart too. 

The New faces include:
Craig Lawrence, Sophie Stevens, Alex Noble, Patternity, Jessica Dance, Lee Roach, Little Glass Clementine, Martine Rose, Matthew Miller, Rhea Thierstein, New Power Studio, Yang Du, Chalie Le Mindu and Shao-Yen. Have a peek at their windows for Selfridges here.

Throughout Fashion Week some of these new faces will be holding workshops sharing their skills and craft, open to the public. From Craig Lawrences knitting workshops to Alex Nobles live Fashion Sculpture, these workshops allow us to see the artists at work and really appreciate their craft.

If the build up to London Fashion is already giving you the designer itch, of if you want to be the Bright Young Thing of the future, then why not enrol on one of our Garment Construction or Fashion Drawing and Illustration courses, and give it a go yourself?

Drop in sewing sessions!

 Our drop in sewing sessions start tomorrow, and every Wednesday evening for 4 weeks. Pop along to the Brick Lane studio with any patterns or alterations you want to do, for a bit of guidance and one to one support. This is the perfect step after completing the Learn To Sew course, for those who want to develop their own sewing projects with help on hand.
