“I am so proud to be a winner of this prestigious award – Fashion Forward,”
says Goldin. “It is amazing to have the support from The British Fashion
Council, Coutts and industry experts. I am even more driven to create my most
successful collection yet! Receiving the financial sponsorship enables me to
create pieces which are commercially viable yet maintain creative integrity”.
Louise Goldin’s cutting edge, pastel Spring/Summer 2010 collection was an
elegant and upbeat showcase of her pioneering techniques and a highly
accurate reflection of her reputation as being at the vanguard of knitwear
design. Goldin's powerful silhouettes and body contouring defy traditional
knitwear structures. She meticulously researches new technologies between
her studio in London and her factory in Italy which have led to her signature
design of innovative programmed techniques where she creates her own
knitted fabric and textures, combined with structured, sculpted garments.
The Fashion Forward scheme sponsored by Coutts & Co and supported by
the London Development Agency, was established 4 years ago to provide
funding to talented emerging British designers to show and develop their
businesses in London. Fashion Forward is a key British Fashion Council
initiative to promote emerging design talent. The award provides the winner
with a cash prize to showcase their collection and access to knowledge to
develop their business. Previous Fashion Forward winners include
Christopher Kane, Jonathan Saunders, Richard Nicoll, Basso & Brooke and
Jean-Pierre Braganza.
