Modernist by Fiona Killackey
U.K.-based label Modernist makes their debut at London Fashion Week this month. Created by Sierra Leone's Abdul Koroma and Newcastle's Andrew Jones who met during their time at Max Mara, Modernist places an innovative twist on modern couture.
Since its inception in September 2005 the label created by the Kingston School of Fashion graduates has achieved a number of accolades, including the coveted Top Shop New Generation Award. Given that this is their first time before an international crowd of buyers, editors and stylists at LFW, it's likely Modernist will be one label we're hearing of (and wearing) a lot more.

the-affair
Out of East London, the-affair is not just another t-shirt label interested in fashion. They do a good job blending social commentary and design to create a statement that goes deeper than the typical tee. Exploring themes like the futility of religious intolerance, Muslim Jesus (above left) just looks like another image of Jesus, but take a closer look and you'll notice that Islamic...

Liberty Of London
An eye for a quirky print, or a knowing nod to the past is a typical Paul Smith trait, and something that Liberty of London has been doing for years. Its massive archive of distinctive prints are used innovatively on pretty much anything you can think of, but it's the signature floral shirts that endure at Liberty's famous London store, as other designers come...

Oliver Spencer
Like Paul Smith, London-based Oliver Spencer has a definite knack of combining the tailored with the relaxed, culminating in a look that is uniquely his. For me, his stand-out designs are his outerwear (see above for examples from the past couple of seasons). Across the board, the silhouette is clean and undeniably British, with just hint of Mod. Stockist information can be found at...
