LONDON FASHION WEEK S/S 2014

London Fashion Week will take place from 13th – 17th September 2013.
                                        
CATWALK SCHEDULE
The catwalk schedule is suitable for designers wishing to show their ready-to-wear collection on the ‘runway’ to an audience of 350+ with one specified time slot and no repeat shows/sittings.

PRESENTATION SCHEDULE
More and more designers are choosing to show in an intimate 'salon style' way or creatively through a static installation. Designers wishing to show in this way are more relevant to the presentation schedule.
Presentations must run over a minimum of 2 hours and up to a full day. They should consist of at least two repeat shows (if salon style) so as not to clash directly with a catwalk show.  The presentation slots are interspersed with the catwalk slots on the official schedule. Please see the downloadable version of September's schedule here.

The closing date for applications is Friday 12th April 2013

Designers can choose to show either in the official BFC Catwalk Show Space and BFC Presentation Space (The Portico Rooms) in Somerset House, or in an outside venue which should be located within close proximity of Somerset House, WC2.
