seems like London Fashion Week is talent hunting, get discovered

SCOUTING FOR TALENT: The British Fashion Council has appointed three fashion scouts to scour the globe for new talent to bring to London Fashion Week. “We do already see a lot of international talent studying In London,” said Sarah Mower, a contributing editor to American Vogue and Style.com, who has been chosen as one of the scouts. “But I think some young designers may be intimidated, as the British Fashion Council has always been thought of as quite closed. Now we’re going to be more proactive,” she said. Mower, along with fellow scouts Yeda Yun, the international buyer for Browns Focus, and Andrew Tucker, a fashion writer and lecturer, will look for fresh faces to show at London Fashion Week starting in February 2005. The chosen ones would also have the chance to compete for New Generation sponsorship from Topshop, along with other British designers. — N.J.

London Fashion Week definetly needs to do this to create more of a buzz which has been lacking since Alexander McQueen moved to Paris years ago and Roland Mouret, Matther Williamson and everyone else moved/is moving to NY and Paris.

It will work since everyone is on the search for new talent.
