Dear Shaded Viewers,
How big are those smiles? Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos are the design duo that has just walked away with a £200,000 grant to provide necessary infrastructure to take them to the next stage in their business. I know the two of them from when they were students at Antwerp Academy. It's been a pleasure to watch them rise to the top. Their label was launched in 2007, previous BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund winners include : Nicholas Kirkwood (2013), Jonathan Saunders (2012), Christopher Kane (2011 and Erdem (2010). I remember attending the awards when Erdem was the happy winner.
Later,
Diane
