Baryeh is offering up-and-coming designers who wish to showcase their collections the opportunity to have their own official off-schedule show during LFW at Islington Metal Works between September 16-18th.
You would be forgiven for thinking that being a fashion stylist is all glamour and glitz how wrong you are... Ok yes there is some glam involved but according to Sophie Cooper Freelance stylist for ASOS “there are some days when you are down on your knees hemming trousers and tying lace”.

Young designers—at the risk of insulting you, it amazes me how many of you don’t have the first clue about buying fabrics. I mean, your fabrics are the cornerstone of your designs and making sure you can get your hands on them for production before you make your samples, is essential. Why did you create that beautiful dress with a yard of novelty fabric that you picked up at the flea market last summer?
