The London Fashion Week is held biannually every February and September.
Founded in 1984, it is organised by the British Fashion Council and attracts
thousands of guests from around the world.
WL's Project Manager Dominic Yates comments: "The London Fashion Week is
without a doubt one of the most important dates in the fashion calendar. It
is world-renowned and always features the biggest names in the industry,
with this year being no exception. With so much global coverage and
literally millions watching worldwide, it's important that the various
showcases and exhibitions receive the support they require - something we
were able to provide".
WL supplied the lighting for a series of catwalk shows, including the
Vivienne Westwood exhibition at the Royal College of Surgeons, the launch of
Marks and Spencer's new Alexa Chung Collection along with the British
Fashion Council's Show Space, which took place at the Brewer Street Car
Park.
Alongside this, WL also supplied the rigging and audio support for the
Gareth Pugh Aftershow Party for L'Oreal held at the Grand Connaught Rooms
along with the Naked Heart Foundation's Fabulous Fund Fair which took place
at Old Billingsgate.
Following its work on the Fashion Week, WL then worked on the London Fashion
Weekend which took place from 25th- 28th February at the Saatchi Gallery.
This unique event gave attendees a personal insight into the fashion world,
with expert panels and industry talks; all of which were designed to inspire
and advise those seeking a career in the fashion industry.
Dominic adds: "The more we have worked on the London Fashion Week, the more
they have been able to draw on the variety of production support that we now
offer; evident this year with a range of our services being utilised. Both
the Fashion Week and Fashion Weekend were extremely busy as always yet we
managed to stay on schedule and ensure that every event received the exact
support it required".
