On Sunday, 20th September, in conjunction with London Fashion Week, Devonshire Square will host four spectacular runway shows presented by Oxford Fashion Studio, bringing together 18 exceptionally talented designers and emerging brands from ten countries across five continents.
The four presentations – beginning at 2.30pm, 4pm, 5.30pm and 7pm – will showcase a diverse range of contemporary fashion, exploring themes of identity, cultural heritage, craftsmanship, materiality, transformation and artistic expression.
The programme will open with New Codes, featuring six young and independent labels developing distinctive and experimental approaches to contemporary design. Material Culture, at 4pm, will explore the relationship between materials, provenance and craftsmanship, including British luxury label Alpaca Apparel, whose collection is created using alpaca fibre sourced from its own New Forest herd.
At 5.30pm, Art + Identity will bring together six designers using fashion as a vehicle for cultural memory, personal narrative and artistic expression. Among the highlights will be Indian label JAJAABOR, whose collection draws inspiration from revolutionary Rash Behari Bose and his extraordinary journey from Bengal to Japan, blending Japanese and Bengali craft traditions.
The day will conclude at 7pm with an exclusive presentation by returning Vietnamese fashion house SORAMAME, whose SS27 collection, Under Construction, explores identity as something continually evolving. Moving between sportswear, tailoring, eveningwear, romance and utility, the collection reflects the layers of experience that shape who we become.
Devonshire Square is delighted to once again partner with Oxford Fashion Studio and support a new generation of international fashion talent, providing a distinctive London setting for designers from around the world to present their work during London Fashion Week.
