Up and coming fashion designers London
The who's who of London's up and coming designer scene comes into sharp focus
Mother of Pearl
Sustainable luxury fashion and interiors brand Mother of Pearl launched in 2002 in East London, and has since been acknowledged for a playful approach to design, merging plush prints with sporty detailing and luxe fabric.
The SS19 presentation saw models languish around retro furniture, sporting jewel-toned, print-heavy attire reminiscent of vintage haute couture with a touch of Flemish painting.
Puffball sleeves and lazily-tied bonnets paid homage to the fun of fashion, while wearable shapes bring the brand down to earth. Set to be ultra-covetable.

Halpern
Michael Halpern debuted his eponymous brand in 2017, and it is fast becoming the go-to designer for Studio-54-inspired party dresses.
The SS19 show, which took place in Soho, was a bejewelled pageant of glitter and colour, paying homage to the sexual liberation movement for women in 1966 and playing with neo-vintage prints.
With Halpern's collaboration with Topshop for a twenty eight piece collection launching in November, expect to see these party dresses dancing all over town.

Roberta Einar
Having studied at CSM, as well as under Mary Katrantzou and Alexander McQueen, luxury womenswear designer Roberta Einer, now in their third season, is a force to be reckoned with.
Another connoisseur of sparkle, the SS19 collection was a culmination of dusky pastels and languid metallics, like the light-streaked sunsets of the country that inspired her designs this season – Morocco.
From ruching to sequins, this is your shopping destination if you're after a plethora of different textures that ultimately share the same feminine edge, delivering a precious urban glamour.

Rejina Pyo
With her bags often swinging from famous wrists (Pandora Sykes is a fan) and a number of designs stocked on Net-A-Porter, Rejina Pyo is well on her way to fashion stardom.
Expect a mix of wearable, neutral staples offset by jaunty, eccentric flourishes.

ASAI
ASAI's creations come from a place where urban grit meets couture by way of Chinese-Vietnamese heritage.
ASAI's multi-coloured stretch tops sold out last year after its LFW debut, and the SS19 collection did not disappoint. The designs play with modern day silhouttes and disrupt them with inspiration from military culture.
