Fashion Business Club

FBC members Annette and Daniela Felder of Felder&Felder have designed an apartment in collaboration with London property developer Londonewcastle. It is the first time that the dynamic fashion duo have embarked on a interior design project.

For this luxury conversion Felder&Felder have included elements of their own label to and translated these into bespoke features of the apartment, and have sourced furniture and antiques to compliment the interior aesthetics  created by Felder&Felder.

Felder& Felder drew inspiration for the design from the rich history of the building, a former factory space and one time home to Jim Henson’s muppets, and its location situated between Camden, with a rich punk heritage and the more sophisticated and refined Primrose Hill. The result is a modern and stylish apartment, synonymous with Londonewcastle, whilst clearly referencing signature Felder Felder design elements.

FCBers Felder Felder are hosting a pop up shop for private orders for their pre-collection on Friday 13th at 118 Westbourne Grove! Visit their pre-collection on Vogue.com.

Annette & Daniela Felder

Here at FBC we are exceptionally proud of our members. So much so that we love to dedicate special trinkets to them on our FBC blog.

FBC’s  latest news sees Annette & Daniela Felder of Felder& Felder, and Alexandra Shulman, editor of Vogue UK, nominated for the Hospital Club 100 Awards. The awards are a recognition to outstanding contribution made by individuals in the world of fashion, and celebrate both established and emerging talent.

Felder& Felder told us they are “honoured to be nominated for the Hospital Club 100 Awards. Fashion is of growing importance to Britain’s creative economy and we are thrilled that over the past decade this has come to be recognised. It is also exciting to be in the same category of awards with fellow FBCer Alex Shulman, editor of Vogue.”

I normally round up FBCers at London Fashion Week, but decided to do Paris this time to mix it up. So, who was there and doing what?

Daniela & Annette Felder

Twin FBC members/designers Daniela and Annette Felder of FELDER FELDER went to Paris as part of the BFC’s London Show Rooms with an opening brunch hosted by American Vogue & Style.com’s Sarah Mower. Excellent.

Bryce Aime AW2010

FBCers Martyn Roberts and John Walford of Fashion Scout assembled the Fashion Scout Paris Showroom and FBC member Bryce Aime was amongst the ten designers on exhibit.

Giovanna Velasquez and me both wearing Magenta 8

FBCer and creative director of Magenta 8, Giovanna Velasquez exhibited for her first time at Atmosphère’s, and FBC member and fashion and fine art photographer, Vanessa Warren went along to help set up and photograph her stand – très  FBC.

The On|Off showroom at Galerie Cadain

FBC member Lee Lapthorne showed his own collection at the Haynes Showroom and had his On|Off showroom filled with twelve British designers; and Lee and his team threw their heavily attended Custard Party. Highlight: Lee rocking out big time to the live music.

Jaeger London (owned by FBC member Harold Tillman) showed at Hotel Castille and FBCers Ashish Gupta of Ashish and Jonathan Saunders also had showrooms as part of the Brits in Paris initiative.

Gabriella Piccinni, FBC member and vice president of international business for Diane von Furstenberg was in Paris…conducting international business on behalf of DvF.

FBC blog chats with 1/2 of Felder Felder, FBC member Annette Felder about celebrities and their upcoming LFW show!

Felder Felder has always been a rock’n'roll label. How has the relationship with music artists come about?
Annette Felder – Mutually, we’ve been approached by quite a few stylists who thought FF would work really well for the artists they work with, which has resulted in some exciting collaborations and relationships.

How important are celebrities to your brand?
Annette Felder – It’s more about the celebrity’s personality or work, which attracts us and makes a celebrity interesting for Felder Felder.

Will you be showing at London Fashion Week?
Annette Felder – Yes, we will be showing on schedule at London Fashion Week, Friday 19th February.

What can we expect next from Felder Felder?
Annette Felder – Timeless and cool designs with a signature shot of rock’n'roll.

If you ever wanted to feel like a rock star it’s worth checking out FBC members Felder Felder.

Rihanna wore Felder Felder when she performed on the finale of the German reality TV competition Popstars You & I!

It’s not hard to spot an FBC member (or several) on a daily basis at Fashion Week, so here’s what everyone was up to this season:

On day one I ran into two FBC members at 180 The Strand, who both happen to be fashion stylists, Anne Look and Francesca Marotta.  180 The Strand was home to On|Off, run by FBC member, Lee Lapthorne.

Over at Vauxhall Fashion Scout (VFS), run by FBC members John Walford and Martyn Roberts, FBC member and fashion stylist, Rebekah Roy started the week by styling one of seven shows and presentations.

FBC member and MD of Felicities, Alison Lowe (right) was back and forth from VFS to On|Off, where her clients were showing.

FBC’s membership director, and handbag designer, Rita Nazareno of S.C. Vizcarra was spotted pre-show at VFS with FBC’s administrative assistant, Laura McCluskey; and I saw the following FBC members in no particular order either at the BFC tent or On|Off:

Hatty Stevens, MD of Harriet Maria Creative Consultancy and Jimmy Ho, world domination visionaire

Angelika Huwiler – newly employed at Prada and FBC’s press director, Myka Volney

CEO of koodos.com, Miriam Lahage and Alison Lewy, commercial director of the Fashion and Textile Museum

Hannah Weimers, senior consultant at Angle Plc. and Navaz Batliwalla, freelance stylist, writer and consultant

Lauretta Roberts digital development director of WGSN and chairman of the Fashion Summit 2009 (right, with Drapers editor Jessica Price-Brown and commissioning editor Ana Santi)

FBC members Harold Tillman, Alexandra Shulman and Dolly Jones were spotted on lots of front rows, FBC member and MD of FCC, Frances Card was everywhere, and FBC member, fashion stylist and journalist, Gretchen Owen was at FBC members’ Daniela and Annette Felder of Felder Felder’s catwalk show, along with FBC board member, designer/illustrator/author, Daisy de Villeneuve.

FBC’s fashion designers didn’t disappoint. Bryce d’Anice Aime did a catwalk show, Michael Herz, on behalf of Aquascutum, did a presentation, and Nathan Jenden did a show just two days before his big FBC interview.

Victoria Holt, FBC member and founder & creative director of lingerie label, Fred&Ginger exhibited at Somerset House.  Apparently they were not supposed to have show cards in the Lingerie Boudoir, so here she is committing an illegal maneuvre with her Vogue card.

Surprise, it’s FBC committee member and fashion designer, Regine Mowill!

See you all on the 26th of November where Browns buying director, Erin Mullaney and fashion designer, Jonathan Saunders, will be interviewed by FBC board member and editor of Vogue.com, Dolly Jones.
