This year, Fashion East celebrates its 25th birthday. Every year, the talent incubator run by Lulu Kennedy and Raphaelle Moore mentors a select coterie of young designers before sending their work down the London Fashion Week runway. It’s an initiative which has launched the careers of countless designers: since rising out of the Truman Brewery warehouses a quarter of a century ago, Fashion East has nurtured the likes of Jonathan Anderson, Martine Rose, Simone Rocha, and many, many more.

As you might have seen, to celebrate their landmark birthday, faces from the Fashion East community have graced the autumn 2025 cover of Dazed. But that’s not all – we’re also partnering up with Fashion East to host a number of exciting events at the ICA on September 20 and 21. From panel talks, to Dazed magazine drops, to film screenings – with drinks kindly provided by Belvedere – there’s something for anyone sartorially inclined.

You can check out the full programme below, and get your tickets to each event here.
