British Fashion Council and Covent Garden Collaborate this Christmas for Crisis

Looking for the gift for the person who has everything? Covent Garden today reveals its brand new set of designer Christmas stockings. In collaboration with some of the UK’s most up and coming designers, including Richard Quinn, Aligheri, Nabil Nayal, Fyodor Golan, Holly Fulton and Osman, the British Fashion Council and Covent Garden have partnered together to create beautiful stockings with all proceeds going to support Crisis, a national charity supporting the homeless.

Limited edition and totally bespoke for Christmas 2019, each designer has created their own interpretation of the classic Christmas stocking, updating the shape and adding their own embellishment and detail, such as freshwater pearls, floral hand-embroidery, feathers and ruffles.

Moreover, every stocking created is totally sustainable in design - with elements being taken from offcuts and surplus materials from the designers’ studios and archive prints and fabrics.

For a donation of £10, shoppers can be in with a chance of winning their chosen stocking containing the very best Christmas gifts from Covent Garden, worth over £1,000.

All proceeds from the stocking sales and the raffle going to charity Crisis, supporting their important work in helping to alleviate homelessness in London.

Caroline Rush, Chief Executive, British Fashion Council commented: 'The British Fashion Council is delighted to partner with Covent Garden in bringing about this festive collaboration with some incredibly talented British designers that represent the creativity and innovation of the London fashion industry.'

Michelle McGrath, Director of Capco Covent Garden commented: 'Retail innovation, the creative industries and differentiated experiences are core to our vision for Covent Garden. As proud patrons of the British Fashion Council, we’re delighted this year to be able to support the next generation of British fashion and design talent on this fun Christmas collaboration as well as partnering with Crisis and the valuable work they do.'
