Richard Malone
"Richard Malone's pieces are genius; so bright, idiosyncratic and sculptural. They're wearable works of art," says Fashion East director Lulu Kennedy.

Mimi Wade
This American-British designer may have grown up in the hippie-ish enclaves of rural England, but her creations nod to an altogether glitzier past.

Martine Rose
Preferring to stay out of the spotlight and on/off the show schedule, she is an unsung hero of British menswear – which is all the more reason why we're thrilled to see her designs in the pop-up.

Craig Green
Craig's first collection with Fashion East, in 2012, was credited with pushing the boundaries of menswear design, and his distinctive yet wearable designs have garnered a cult following in just a few seasons

Marques' Almeida
The design duo subscribes to the school of thought that fashion is about attitude, not hemlines – which seems to be a winning formula.
