The youngest of the Big Four fashion weeks, London has produced a cornucopia of fearless fashion minds in its short 35 years. This is how it all began...
in Paris before moving to London in 1974, the Australian-born Savage staged his first London show, “The New Wave”, at The Ritz , which he soon followed with the “London Collections”, featuring designers such as Zandra Rhodes and Bruce Oldfield, with Princess Margaret and Bianca Jagger front row.
However, it was in the following decade that London Fashion Week as we know it today was born, with the creation of the in 1983, followed by the first official London Fashion Week in 1984. That same year saw the inaugural Designer of the Year award. The accolade was won by Katharine Hamnett, who later caused a stir during her infamous meeting with Margaret Thatcher when she wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the anti-nuclear message “58% Don’t Want Pershing”.
