“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.

Requirements and Application Process

· All applicants will need to submit an A3 (minimum) or A2 mood-board showing the concept for their ‘window’ display that gives the feeling, the mood and the inspirations of the brand and/or the collection – the LABB creative team will not consider digital entries

· An indication of space requirements – there will be a variety of space options available and the specific measurements will be determined with the selected designers at the briefing meeting

· Details of their collection including illustrations, imagery, or look book and description

· Brand description

· Any further information supporting their collections and ideas behind the ‘window’ design

· The LABB creative team will select the designers to be included in the event

· Terms of selection include : The display must be unique to LABB Emerge and not have been previously shown and cannot be replicated at any other venue or event pre or during London Fashion Week September2010

· Set up at The Gallery Soho on Sunday 19^th September 2010

· LABB Emerge event on Monday 20^th September 11am – 6pm within this time the LABB Emerge Cocktail Lounge will be open between 2pm – 4pm for press and VIPs

· Mood boards and photography from the event to be included in LABB Loves post fashion week and LABB Book in December

Selection

· The LABB creative team will offer a selection of designers the opportunity to participate in the event on 20^th September and they will also be featured in Volume 4 of the LABB Book

Question: Are words ever enough to quantify "STUNNING CREATIONS"?

Unapologetically modern: gunpowder black and light silver with shades between, sun yellow as accent.

In the case of Simon Ekrelius, a few words do point you in the right direction.

DRESS 33

2010-07-07T19:09:00.000+01:00

Previously of Dress Camp, designer Toshikazu Iwaya conducts salaciously pretentious cacophonies of couture and costume overdone to the nth degree.

For A/W 10 we are particularly loving DRESS 33's menswear. Its edgy & quicky. It would certainly make my wardrobe very happy!

SANDRA BACKLUND

2010-07-03T10:46:00.001+01:00

SANDRA BACKLUND's pieces are simply handmade dreams. Her ability to improvise and allow her self to forget practicality and loose control has lent its self seamlessly to the creation of some very unique knitwear. Some of our favourites include

Sandra's SS10 collection will be the first to go into production. Until now Sandra made all pieces her self by hand and sold them made to measure by order only. So what can we expect from this change in process?

Well I can safely say STILL STUNNING! Yes there is less drama in the pieces as the making process has been fine tuned for replication but the genius behind it still shines through.

THAT DRESS.... MAKE IT WORK!

Simplicity's intricacy, sounds silly? well that's simply because you have not laid eyes on the AW10 collection by JAMES HOCK .

We'll let the pieces do the talking. Note the layers, lux fabrics and intricate lines on the Garments.

RICKY ROCKS THOSE RETROS

2010-04-25T13:26:00.005+01:00

At LABB we love and focus on new designers and all things new and shiny. We simply love it. But as very good FASH-nista knows vintage and retro is simply an undeniable CLASSIC.

For this issue with the theme TEXTURE, we thought why not hunt down the classics that have absolutely refused to shift in men's wear. The focus is on cuts and fabrics and maybe something a little fun to aid the discerning male fashion lover look sharp but relaxed while having some summer fun in these retro pieces.

Shoot by one of LABB's special friends and mentor Karl Baxter, who also shot the issue cover, we could not wait to share.
Full Spread in Issue 1 volume 2 (The Texture Labb) out 07/06/2010.... Enjoy!
