Look, a gathering of men and women on a bench. It’s a bit like a school photo, except not, as these are not, in fact, pubescent children (though you are all glowing, my darlings) but the winners of the 2016 BFC Fashion Trust. Congrats. In no particular order – Eudon Choi, Fyodor Golan, Gareth Pugh, Hillier Bartley, Holly Fulton, Huishan Zhang, Marques’Almeida, Palmer/Harding, Phoebe English, Prism, Rejina Pyo and Sibling. Phew. A veritable flood of talent.The Fashion Trust was launched in 2011, this year distributing £350,000 of cold hard cash between the finalists. Lucky lot. British Fashion Council chief executive Caroline Rush said: “We are thrilled to be able to support these twelve designers through the BFC Fashion Trust this year. The generous support of the BFC Fashion Trust members and Farfetch continues to help in the development of these brands and we are extremely excited to see how this initiative further enables their creativity and growth.”
