London is famous for launching hot designers, the kind that grab headlines and earn a visit from Anna Wintour herself.

Ours is a truly unique capital with the creative and the conceptual so it’s as important to visit the off-schedule shows, as it is to attend shows by the already established names.

We were bombarded by raw talent on day two of London Fashion Week with a medley of up-and-coming designers beginning with Blow Presents... at the Royal Festival Hall.

The off-schedule showcase is a platform for young start-ups, graduates and emerging talent to send their innovative designs down a catwalk.

This year we had a treat with four designers giving us an insight into their creative world with Charlie Le Mindu opening proceedings.

The Bergerac-born designer began his working life as a child prodigy in the French Hair Academy, cutting Hair from teh age of 13, so it’s no surprise that his main medium for Fashion design is, yes you guessed it - Hair.

Architectural shapes and concealed faces, helmets and sculptural head dresses all fashioned from Hair made up Le Mindu’s unique brand of ‘haute coiffure’.
