TikTok
Last September TikTok made its London Fashion Week debut, as the Principal partner for the British Fashion Council BFC NEWGEN programme, which has paved the way for iconic fashion designers including Alexander McQueen, Christopher Kane and Erdem to emerge.
In September, the TikTok Show Space at Old Selfridges Hotel played host to the new generation of talented designers including S.S Daley and Helen Kirkum, who shared their journey from the work room to the front row on TikTok.
From Yuhan Wang offering a backstage look at her Spring/Summer 2022 collection to Saul Nash sharing what it was like to present his first solo runway, TikTok enabled fashion enthusiasts and creatives alike to experience the front row at London Fashion Week like never before.
That's why we're delighted to be working with the British Fashion Council for the second year as the Community Partner for BFC NEWGEN - to enable the next generation of British design talent to reach an even bigger audience globally through our platform.

That is the power of TikTok's creative fashion community.
From #SneakerTok and #Streetwear to #Sustainability and #Upcycling, designer fashion houses, high street brands, aspiring stylists and fashion fanatics are finding their style and their voice on TikTok, making the platform a hotbed for emerging fashion trends and emerging fashion talent.
