In March, Alternative Arts presents east London’s major fashion event, London’s Swatch Alternative Fashion Week.

From the 20th-24th, Spitalfields will play host to a fresh crop of talent from the fashion world. The event will be the place new designers will want to be seen as it provides a genuine alternative for those with truly innovative talent to present their work directly to the press, public and the fashion industry. What’s more, in a true bid of support, Alternative Arts produces and directs the entire event at no charge to the designers.

The Alternative Fashion Week 2006 will seek to platform the designs of over sixty young designers. The talent will be selected from applications received from independent designers who want to establish their labels. Also welcome are recent fashion and textile graduates and designers who come from the world of circus, theatre, carnival and club. Expect anything from elegant to edgy.

Running alongside the torrent of fashion shows, two major awards will also be awarded. The Individual Designer Award for The College Award for most original collection based on the theme of TIME.

In a programme that features live jazz and twelve new designers each day, highlights will include original textiles along with womenswear and menswear.

Gear up because this is one fashion event that any true fashionista wouldn’t want to miss for the world.

Admission is Free.
