Harold Tillman, Chairman of The British Fashion Council said: 'The British Fashion Council are delighted to be continuing their collaboration with Bicester Village on the 'British Designers Collective' boutique. This is a unique platform for London Fashion Week designers to showcase their designs to new audiences. This year's dedicated menswear phase, adds an extra dimension to the boldly British boutique and validates the excitement surrounding a year that celebrates all that is British.'
Shoppers will be delighted by statues that have been strategically placed around the Village that each represent a quirky British emblem: a bulldog (synonymous with courage and stoicism), a sheep (symbolic of the Cotswold's world-renowned wool trade) and a cherub, whose angelic looks belie a youthful, playful spirit.
New this year, a dedicated menswear selection will follow the women's boutique, launching on 16 May. Designers include YMC, Oliver Spencer, Grenson, Margaret Howell, James Long, Sunspel, Tim Little, Heritage Research, and Richard James amongst others.
This year's womenswear boutique opens on 22nd March until the 9th May. The menswear phase will follow on from the 16th May until the end of June.
