FBC’s media partner, Drapers hosted an amazing party at DreamVault to note a landmark year in British fashion. 2009 marks 25 years of the British Fashion Council and London Fashion Week, 100 years of Selfridges and 125 of Jaeger, amongst other noteworthy fashion anniversaries.
Harold Tillman
We were all given a commemorative book titled Drapers Great British Fashion and both Drapers editor, Jessica Price-Brown and FBC member and chairman of the British Fashion Council, Harold Tillman spoke about the industry’s heritage, the milestones, and the exciting future of British fashion. Attended by some of the most influential people in the business, FBCers were no doubt in great supply.

FBC member and senior account director at EdenCancan, Jonathan Kirkby with My-Wardrobe brand partnerships manager, Antony Hawman

FBC members Lauretta Roberts, digital development manager at WGSN and chairman of the Fashion Summit 2009 with Stine Brogaard, Swarovski’s marketing operations manager
Liberty’s creative director Tamara Salman with Fran
Tamara is not yet a member of FBC, but she did attend the infamous Alexandra Shulman/Dolly Jones meeting, and she will be a member come January after she’s been our guest speaker – it will be on the 28th, if you want to save the date.
FBC’s Martyn Roberts, co-director of Vauxhall Fashion Scout was also there, but managed to elude the camera.
Agenda’s will be going out soon for the next meeting on the 26th of November where Jonathan Saunders and Erin Mullaney of Browns will be interviewed by FBC board member and editor of Vogue.com, Dolly Jones.
Look forward to seeing you there!
