2015 WINNERS
Teenagers from across the capital brought London Fashion Week to a euphoric close as 17-year-old Hana Minowa was crowned winner of the 2015 Fashion Futures Final.
Sponsored by George at Asda, the catwalk finale was hosted by Fashion Scout at the Freemasons Hall in Covent Garden on Tuesday evening.
The 19 teenage finalists were the youngest designers to showcase at London Fashion Week. To an upbeat soundtrack of electro and K-pop, they presented garments inspired by the rich cultures of Korea and Japan.

2015 FINALIST WORKSHOPS
At the beginning of July nineteen Fashion Futures finalists headed east to craft their designs for the London Fashion Week catwalk.
As always it was a challenge – to create a catwalk ready garment in just five days. But this year our plucky finalists thrived under the pressure, even defying a full scale tube strike to ensure they completed their Japanese and Korean inspired designs by Friday’s deadline.
Chosen from over 100 young people across the capital who took part in Fashion Futures workshops earlier this year, the teen finalists will see their garments brought to life this September at Fashion Scout in Covent Garden.
Thanks to Fashion Futures sponsors George at Asda and to workshop hosts the University of East London.

2015 Fashion Futures Finalists
Taking part in FAD has boosted my confidence to a whole new level. The support from all the people that I have met during the course and at the final show has really given me the motivation to carry on and work towards studying design.

Other courses are too short, they give you a quick insight but they don’t let you experience what it’s actually like in industry. With FAD I’m always looking forward to the next stage.
