The British Fashion Council (BFC) has announced Mother of Pearl and palmer//harding as the winners of this year’s BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund. In 2017 the Fund adjusted its format with a focus on bringing key expertise into designer businesses to assist with development and growth. The £200,000 Fund was opened up to be shared between up to three recipients, enabling the fund to benefit multiple designers at a pivotal stage in the growth of their brand’s development. The winners still receive a full mentoring programme through the BFC’s Business Support team, including access to funders and industry experts.
Previous winners of the Fund include Christopher Kane, Erdem, Mary Katrantzou, Nicholas Kirkwood, Peter Pilotto and Sophia Webster.
