LONDON FASHION WEEK : 5 BRITISH BRANDS YOU SHOULD TOTALLY CHECK OUT
London Fashion Week took place from the 16th to the 20th February 2018, and as Fashion Week was jumping from one
metropole to another, we took the chance to look at the designers impressing us with their creative, bohemian, and
unconventional garments.
Here we celebrate five of the many stunning designers who presented their new collections at
London Fashion Week 2018.
The London College of Fashion graduate Bona Kim and London’s Royal College of Art graduate Jae Lim; creators of BESFXXK, specialize in genderless and classic fashions. Their Fashion aesthetic consists of deconstructed women and men’s wear combining military functionality and British tailoring heritage. Their blouses, trench coats, dresses, and other items are made up of cuts and looks that are extravagant, asymmetrical, and modern.
The duo definitely know how to modify traditional garments into modern pieces of art.
