JAMES LONG, Marques Almeida and Maarten van der Horst have been announced as Fashion East's spring/summer 2012 designer line-up. Although Long made his Fashion East womenswear debut last season, Central Saint Martins graduates Almeida and van der Hoorst are both newcomers for London Fashion Week.
"We're delighted to support James Long for a second season," says Fashion East founder Lulu Kennedy. "His womenswear debut last season went down great with buyers and press alike - the signature handknits were killer, I loved the Alpaca clutches, and the floor-length body-con knit dresses were hot and super-wearable. We spotted the two newcomers at the Central Saint Martins MA show. They were stand out, in what was a very strong year. The panel loved the energy and bold optimism of their collections, it felt fresh and confident. They are determined individuals with a well-developed aesthetic plus great attitude. The gear is really fun and I'd wear it in a heartbeat. We have a pretty explosive mix on our hands for September!"
