The BFC CONTEMPORARY SHOP opens on EBAY.CO.UK for its second season at London Fashion Week AW15: 20th February – 11th March 2015
The online boutique, found at www.ebay.co.uk/BFC, will feature exclusive clutch-bag-turned-tablet-cases and silk scarves that capture each designer’s unique aesthetic.
Created by five BFC Contemporary supported designers: Alexis Barrell, Georgia Hardinge, PAPER LONDON, Prism and Zoë Jordan, all items are priced under £100.
Alexis Barrell: A leather clutch and silk scarf inspired by Barrell’s travels through the Himalayas and Bhutan. “Metta” in Sanskrit means love, compassion and friendship, which is reflected in the designer’s use of deep crimson and vibrant reds. The silk scarf showcases hand-painted Lotus flower – the ancient symbol for love and compassion.
ALEXIS BARRELL ‘THE METTA’ LEATHER POUCH RRP: £49.95
ALEXIS BARRELL ‘RED LOTUS’ SILK SCARF RRP: £49.95
Georgia Hardinge: A beautifully created leather clutch that translates from day to evening. Hardinge applies her signature sculptural 3D pleated technique to her designs for a luxuriously textured feel.
GEORGIA HARDINGE ‘PLEAT’ LEATHER CLUTCH RRP: £49.95
GEORGIA HARDINGE ‘DIAMOND’ SILK SCARF RRP: £49.95
PAPER LONDON: PAPER’S leather clutch pays homage to Henri Matisse's famed cut outs and artist Sol Lewitt's wall drawings. The envelope clutch’s bold graphic print is complemented by a ‘popping’ turquoise interior. The scarf reflects the skilled signature brushwork of the artist Pissarro, ensuring an instant modern edge to any outfit.
PAPER LONDON ‘MATISSE’ LEATHER CLUTCH RRP £49.95
PAPER LONDON ‘MATISSE’ SILK SCARF RRP £49.95
Prism: Produced to complement the SS15 swim collection and printed in signature black leopard and snake stripe on a light pink background, this large silk scarf doubles up as a beach sarong.
PRISM ‘LEOPARD AND SNAKE’ STRIPE SILK SCARF RRP: £49.95
Zoë Jordan: Taking inspiration directly from her SS15 collection, Jordan has reflected her signature blue glacial print on both the slim-profile leather clutch and silk ‘Polar’ scarf. The ‘Ice Nitro’ clutch is completed with an embossed ‘Z’ and suede interior providing a high-end understated quality.
ZOË JORDAN ‘ICE NITRO’ LEATHER CLUTCH RRP: £69.95
ZOË JORDAN ‘POLAR’ SILK SCARF RRP: £49.95
