London Fashion Week Postponed for 2021
The British Fashion Council is postponing London Fashion Week in January. Instead, the fashion event will occur in February, blending with a digital format for the first time. This comes as COVID-19 restrictions amp up in the British capital, as well as upcoming customs issues. The event will also be one of the first gender-neutral fashion shows for the city.
“When we launched London Collections: Men in June 2012, which then became London Fashion Week Men’s, we were responding to an industry need and to the necessity to have a platform for British menswear designers,” said Dylan Jones, the BFC Men’s Chair. London Fashion Week will take place from February 19 to 23.

M.J Bale Debuts Collaboration with AIME
M.J Bale is collaborating with AIME to celebrate ReclAIMEd’s first birthday. ReclAIMEd is an initiative founded by AIME, which uses deadstock and transforms them into new pieces. This is the second iteration of Suits for Suits – M.J Bale is donating 14 suits that will be the canvas for some of Australia’s leading artists. They will use these suits to display their art forms, which will then be auctioned off, with the sales going to AIME.
AIME is an ‘imagination factory’ for marginalized youth. The artists taking part in the collection include Bronwyn Bancroft, Georgia Hill, and Dan Single, among many others. “Suits for suits is about us building bridges from a traditional corporate symbol to open the doors for kids around the world to see through the world of imagination, and what is possible,” said Jack Manning Bancroft, the Founder of AIME.
