The British Fashion Council has confirmed that London Fashion Week Men’s is moving this January to the Truman Brewery in East London.

The three-day showcase, which runs January 5-7, will no longer take place at the usual venue, 180 The Strand, which is where London Fashion Week is also held, instead it will be held in the heart of London’s East End due to its proximity to “the home of many of our British designer businesses,” stated the British Fashion Council in an e-mail to FashionUnited.

Announced to coincide with the London Fashion Week Men’s provisional schedule, the British Fashion Council added that Saturday and Sunday’s shows will be located around the East End, while Monday’s schedule will be focused around central London to “ensure that travel is as smooth as possible”.

The new home at the Truman Brewery, which is also where Graduate Fashion Week is set to be presented in June, will feature the official BFC Show Space, a curated showroom of menswear brands and experiences, the NewGen Pop-Up Showroom and the DiscoveryLAB, a creative space hosting exclusive experiences combining the worlds of fashion, tech, art and performance.

All Fashion Awards 2018 British Emerging Talent Menswear nominees feature on the London Fashion Week Men’s schedule this season, with Art School opening the autumn/winter 2019 showcase with their first on-schedule catwalk show at 9am on Saturday, January 5, while A-Cold-Wall*, Cottweiler, Kiko Kostadinov and Phoebe English will show over the three-day event.
