London Fashion Week September 2014 saw the multi-designer showcase Fashion International return with another glittering line-up of British and International emerging designers for Spring Summer 2015.

The SPRING SUMMER 2015 SHOW took place on Saturday 13th September 2014 at The Royal Horseguards Hotel, close to Buckingham Palace, within the Whitehall Suite. Born of a desire to champion up and coming labels, Fashion International cherry picks from the industry’s talent and offers a select few creatives the opportunity to show during London Fashion Week, in front of international press and buyers.

Founder, Geoff Cox, says “The Fashion International multi designer runway shows have added a breath of fresh air to the LFW off schedule scene and have grown to be a prominent fixture on the seasonal calendar. I’m delighted that the shows have grown from strength to strength each season and we are already developing exciting plans for February’s shows, so watch this space!”

The designers, which I will showcase and review individually, were:

DANIEL SYIEM
Known for their timeless and classic womenswear ensembles in natural fabrics, the Daniel Syiem label is strongly focused on sustainable and eco-friendly fashion. The brand seamlessly brings together the traditional craft of hand-woven fabrics from North East India with a more modern western silhouette. For SS15, Daniel Syiem presents their ‘Amaranthine-Everlasting Style’ a collection with an eco-conscious and nature inspired attitude. The colour palettes on the organic fabrics are a mixture of natural vegetables dyes giving the designs an earthy sensuality.
