British Fashion Fund Nominees

Launched by British Fashion Council Chairman Harold Tillman in September 2008 as a legacy project for the BFC’s 25th anniversary celebrations, the Fund provides one British based designer with £200,000 and access to high level mentoring support- additional awards of mentoring and business support may be allocated to finalists at the judging panel’s discretion.

In order to be eligible for this scheme, designers must have an established business based within the UK.
