LCF takes part in London Collections: Men

May 21, 2012

LCF is proud to announce LCFM, a brand new initiative showcasing new collections from emerging menswear designers, all of whom are LCF alumni with expanding businesses. LCFM, which sits alongside London Collections: Men, the first showcase of its kind in London to celebrate emerging and established menswear brands, presents Asger Juel Larsen, Matteo Molinari, Domingo Rodriguez and Oliver Ruuger showing their S/S 2013 collections to buyers and press for the first time. Through LCFM, LCF is setting the bar for supporting and nurturing British trained designers who represent the future of menswear. Professor Frances Corner OBE, Head of LCF said,

LCFM marks an exciting new phase for LCF. We know that our menswear alumni are amongst the best in the world, we also know the financial climate is making it even tougher for emerging designers to break into the fashion industry; which is why London Collections provides us with the perfect opportunity to present these inspiring young designers to the world stage and help propel them and their fledging businesses to even greater success.

Reflecting LCF’s rich heritage and focus on the future of fashion, the event will showcase menswear in the broadest sense and will incorporate a static installation of work by Oliver Ruuger – whose luxury accessories push the boundaries between product and sculpture. The LCFM catwalk, which is being styled by i-D Fashion Editor Elgar Johnson, is taking place at the Royal Society of Arts on Friday 15 June 2012. Time TBC. After the show press and buyers will have the unique opportunity to see all collections at numbernine, the Menswear Showroom at the heart of Carnaby Street.

The chic stamps are set to launch this week and includes a stamp honoring CSM alumnus Alexander McQueen. The stamp shows McQueen’s ‘Black Raven’ piece from the 2009 Horn of Plenty collection.

Oaksmith Studio Prize Winner Announced

May 17, 2012

Victoria Arney, a student on the MA Printmaking course at Camberwell College of Arts, has won the second annual Oaksmith Studio Prize. The prize, open to MA Fine Art and related final year course students was set up by Anna Tjan, a Camberwell and CSM alumna, and Mauro Saccardo, the founders of Oaksmith Studio fine art framers. The winning student receives a prize of £500 worth of bespoke picture framing at Oaksmith Studio for their final year exhibition.

Victoria’s images and artist statement stood out to the judges as being both visually intriguing and conceptually challenging. Victoria is delighted to have been selected as the winner, saying, “Winning the prize means that I can start to think about diverse ways of presenting my final piece – something that would have been financially impossible before.”

Oaksmith Studio was born out of a passion for inspiring art and design and a desire to play an active part in it. Anna and Mauro established the Oaksmith Studio Prize as a way of entering into an engaging and inspiring dialogue with artists and their work. Anna said, ‘We know what a difference high quality framing can make to the presentation of art work and it is incredibly rewarding to us to be able to offer real advice and assistance to young artists in this regard.’

We are also delighted to announce that Oaksmith Studio is offering a 10% discount on framing to all University of the Arts London students. For further information visit the website at http://www.oaksmithstudio.co.uk/ or ring Anna and Mauro on 020 8127 4606.
