Over the past couple of months I have been taking part on the judging panel for the British Fashion Council/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund. This is such an exciting project and I have loved being involved! A couple of weeks ago I also invited the designers to the Rodial office where I met them individually and offered them mentoring advice. I love motivating young entrepreneurs and really enjoyed hearing about the plans they have for their businesses.
The judging panel are a really inspiring group of people and it was great to catch up with everyone including Caroline Rush, Edward Enninful and the gorgeous Jourdan Dunn.
After taking some pictures we went straight into the designer interviews. Each designer brought in models wearing pieces from their collection and talked us through them, afterwards the judging panel was opened up for questions. I was really impressed at how well all the designers responded to the questions under pressure!
The winner will be announced on 2nd May, keep an eye on my Instagram stories for all the outfits from the announcement party…
