“LABB EMERGE” At The Gallery Soho during London Fashion Week

 “LABB EMERGE”
At The Gallery Soho during
London Fashion Week

LABB has been created to harvest and showcase emerging, often unheard of, talent in the fields of Fashion, Art and Photography. 

LABB is more than a magazine – there are three elements to the brand – LABB Book, the international, glossy, coffee table magazine which is printed quarterly; LABB Loves, the blog dedicated to all things fashion, art and photography; and LABB Emerge, exciting events that showcase the creatives it discovers. 

“LABB Emerge” will launch during London Fashion Week on Monday 20th September with a stunning showcase at The Gallery Soho. The event will be a unique celebration of some of the hottest young design talent in the fashion industry – presenting their brands in an innovative format through a conceptual display of ‘window’ installations.

LABB Emerge has now opened the application process for designers to participate at the event and participating designers will benefit from a range of opportunities to promote their brand. This event is sponsored by LABB and therefore there is no space hire fee for designers.


LABB Emerge Brief

The concept for the event LABB Emerge will be to create the illusion of an arcade of high fashion, imaginary shop ‘window’ installations in the space – along the lines of Liberty and Selfridges conceptual window displays. Each designer will present their collection in unique ways to create this effect – this is the opportunity to be as creative and expressive as possible and create an installation that reflects your brand using a combination of display techniques that could include illustration, imagery and photography.
