‘SNAPPED’ ALL WALKS AND RANKIN

PART ONE: September 2010

When we teamed up with Rankin we had one mission to unite the industry’s best names in pursuit of individuality. Our first photographic campaign ‘Size Me Up’ with Kayt Jones for i-D Magazine, had been a great success. Emerging designers were thinking about diversity and conscious of the role of the body and how this impacts on women.

So we invited the big names in design to take their lead from emerging designers before them and make a special sample garment for us to showcase at London Fashion Week. We launched this initiative on Network ITV Breakfast News.
