The 68th edition of London Fashion Week brings together some of the world’s most creative and innovative names in the fashion industry; with a packed schedule featuring over 80 designer names on the official catwalk and presentation schedule and over 100 brands showcasing in the Designer Showrooms.

The BFC has partnered with innovation studio Holition as well as Google, Condé Nast and Pulsar to produce a unique data visualization tool titled, ‘Blossoming Fashion Conversation’ associated to 12 major fashion topics. Key topics include Sustainability, Model Health, The Luxury & Streetwear Climates, Designer & Production Heritage, Emerging Talent, Diversity in the industry and Overall Innovation.

The visualization aims to engage people inside and outside the industry to the creativity and global impact of London Fashion Week. The data will appear as a blossoming tree with roots and branches. The roots represent the reach of London Fashion Week while the branches represent the total social media mentions and impressions.

The new data visualization tool can be seen online or at The Store X, on 180 Strand throughout London Fashion Week.
