Watch Out: Fashion Scout's LFW Four

Anita Hirlekar, JS Shin, Leaf Xia and Typical Freaks have been selected as the designers to showcase at Fashion Scout´s Ones To Watch programme for spring/summer 2016 this September.

An MA textiles graduate from Central Saint Martins. Hirlekar launched her Iceland-based label last year with a focus on innovative fabrications combined with unique handcraft.

Designer Joon-Sik Shin graduated from London College Of Fashion this year and has a background in Italian tailoring. A combination of luxe tailoring and handcraft are the designer's signatures.

Typical Freaks comes from the minds of Seun Ade-Onojobi (Central Saint Martins) and Sonia Xiao (London College of Fashion) and is underpinned by a sense of humour and eccentricity.

New York-based Leaf Xia, a graduate from Parsons the New School of Design, provides a focus on colour and collage.

"The combination of our four designers chosen from countries as diverse as China and Iceland promises to be our most exciting season ever," says Fashion Scout's founder and director Martyn Roberts.

Fashion Scout will take place at Freemasons Hall in London's Covent Garden from September 18 to 22. This will be Fashion Scout's 19th season. Previous designers to have showcased with the event include David Koma, Felder Felder, Helen Lawrence, Eudon Choi and Agi & Sam.
