The pioneering designer brand, Maison Martin Margiela, is set to celebrate 20 years in fashion with a major exhibition at Somerset House in London. Opening on the 3rd June, the retrospective will aim to explore designer Martin Margiela’s artistic and conceptual approach to fashion design, through installations, video and photography.
Margiela, the elusive Belgian designer, who has never been photographed, graduated in 1980 from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, studying alongside the avant-garde fashion collective, the “Antwerp Six”. He presented his first collection under his own name in 1989.
Margiela revolted against the luxury of the fashion industry with his “deconstructivist” approach. His radical designs will be celebrated in the exhibition at Somerset House until September 2010. To book tickets, visit www.somersethouse.org.uk.

An exhibition of fashion-tastic photography at the Liberty exhibition space this February and March.
Curated by the ever-innovative people over at Spring Projects, this show features work that twitches between high-end glam and something more than a little LA-style trashy. Look out in particular for Alice Hawkins' deceptively complex images.
All works on show are for sale; original limited edition prints ranging from £250 to £2,500s.
8th February – 14th March
Liberty’s 4th Floor Exhibition Space

London based designer Jasper Garvida was born on the Philippines and lived in Toronto before deciding to move to London to study fashion design at Central St. Martins College. After graduating he designed for couture labels but quickly moved to the High Street to design for the mass market.
His dresses are sexy and colourful but get really interesting after a second look when you discover his amazing cuts and fabrics. His designs are admired by the likes of Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Liz Hurley and Sophie Dahl. Jasper also does bridal tailoring and bespoke services. Visit his website for more information.
He stocks in London in Sub Couture, 204 Kensington Park Road, W11 1NR.

One knows that London Fashion Week is getting closer when news about fashion flash stores are starting to spread.
Comme des Garçons was the first brand opening so-called "Guerilla stores" (shops that open in an empty space just for a couple of days or weeks). In London, Pam Hogg and twenty8twelve recently opened a flash shop, both in the trendy Newburgh Quarter.
This Autumn, during London Fashion Week there are more exiting shops about to open. Kinder Aggugini, who debuted at last season's LFW, will open a shop on Mount Street in Mayfair from September 19th to October 31st.
On|Off, the independent fashion showcase, will open a shop on Newburgh Street from September 19th to September 22nd, selling Jean-Pierre Braganza or Pam Hogg. The shop will also host various fashion shows and events.
Poltock & Walsh, Kate Moss's favourite label popped up in the East End, 57 Amwell Street, and will stay there for five months.
Make sure to put those dates in your diary as it would be a real shame to miss it!
