Today the British Fashion Council (BFC) has announced the shortlisted designers for the BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund 2017.

In 2017 the BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund will adjust its format to focus on bringing key expertise into designer businesses to assist with development and growth. In recognition of the increasing pool of deserving talent the £200,000 grant will be shared between up to three recipients, which will enable the fund to benefit multiple designers. Winners will continue to receive a full mentoring programme through the BFC’s Business Support team, including access to funders and industry experts.

The nominated designers are selected by the Fund Judging Committee and have all been chosen for their potential to develop into a global designer brand. The shortlist comprises: Huishan Zhang, Mother of Pearl, Osman, palmer//harding, Shrimps, Sophie Hulme (pictured above) and Toogood.
