Five Slovak fashion designers will present their collections during London Fashion Week thanks to a partnership between Slovak Fashion Council, Fashion Scout and the International Fashion Showcase.

Looking to support and develop Slovak fashion, the initiative will give designers the opportunity to present themselves to buyers with a catwalk show and a showroom presentation on 15 February.

The designers have all previously participated in the International Fashion Showcase, which has hosted more than 600 international designers from 70 countries since 2012.

Lukáš Krnáč, Pavol Dendis, Petra Kubíková, Silvia Zrebná and Vivien Babicová compose the line-up.

Dana Kleinert, chairwoman of Slovak Fashion Council, said: “At Slovak Fashion Council, we are excited to be working with Fashion Scout and International Fashion Showcase this London Fashion Week. It is of great importance for emerging designers from abroad to present their collections in such cities as London, where the fashion industry strives the most and where the top industry professionals, inc. media, buyers, influencers and opinion leaders, are  concentrated. We can not wait to showcase the Slovak talent and hope to prove it belongs to the world fashion map.”

Martyn Roberts, founder and managing director at Fashion Scout, added: “The five selected Slovak designers, showcase the best that Slovak Fashion Council has to offer. We are proud to host and showcase this exciting event on schedule at Fashion Scout, the international platform for fashion pioneers. The partnership with the Slovak Fashion Council is another important step in working with global talent.”

The event will take place on Friday 15 February at Freemasons’ Hall in Covent Garden.
