Step Forward:The BFC’s New Star Trio

CHRISTOPHER RAEBURN and Sibling are the latest new names to be awarded the British Fashion Council's menswear Fashion Forward sponsorship.Both labels will join fellow winner Lou Dalton in receiving bespoke business support and financial assistance to stage either a catwalk show or presentation during London Collections:Men next month.

"It's incredibly exciting to see such a talented trio of designers given the support and exposure their work deserves and with all eyes on London this June, there's no better showcasing platform for their level of business," said BFC CEO Caroline Rush.

Sponsored by eBay and supported by the Mayor of London, the menswear branch of the project was first launched in May 2012 to offer a platform for emerging British men's design talent.Former alumni of the sponsorship scheme include Holly Fulton, David Koma and Michael van der Ham.
