This season Sophia Webster has progressed to receive presentation sponsorship to showcase her colourful collection of shoe designs. Featuring on the presentation schedule for a second season are hip denim designers Marques’Almeida, the minimalist ready-to-wear designer J.J S Lee and Lucas Nascimento, who will be showing his innovative knitwear collection.

The knitwear trio behind Sister by Sibling, who have been inspired by spots, dots, glitter and croquet for AW13, will show their covetable collection in a presentation; Nasir Mazhar will showcase his vibrant and cultural headwear alongside a burgeoning range of accessories for AW13 and Christopher Raeburn will present his acclaimed ethically-aware womenswear collection.

In 2012, Topshop celebrated ten years of support of the NEWGEN scheme, providing London’s diverse young fashion designers with a showcase to a global audience. Topshop offers additional support to designers by providing show venues and commissioning special collections available during and beyond London Fashion Week. Topshop’s dedication to the support and growth of emerging talent remains unsurpassed.

Mary Homer, Managing Director of TOPSHOP, commented “Topshop are incredibly proud to support Newgen, which is one of the most inspiring platforms for emerging design talent. This is now our 11th year and it is vital that we continue to invest in developing and nurturing young British designers who are the future of fashion.”
