London Fashion Week

Twice a year the British Fashion Council exhibits the very best in British fashionto national and international audiences through three events held at Store Studios on the Strand. London Fashion Week (LFW) and London Fashion Week Men’s (LFWM) offer the industry a look at upcoming women’s and menswear, while London Fashion Week Festival (LFWF) provides the general public with a unique shopping experience.

London-based studio of Pentagram, led by partners Jody Hudson-Powell and Luke Powell, have created beautiful identities for London Fashion week. While each is distinct in its content and audience, they are linked by the concept of ‘discovery’, and the intention of bringing to light and juxtaposing emerging new talent and London Fashion Week’s enduring legacy.

Brand Identity for Chus x Chus by Pentagram

“Brand identity evokes the visual qualities and graphic forms of Burés’s jewelry with distinctive custom typography constructed of modular shapes. The Pentagram designers developed a full alphabet and custom typeface, called CXC, built of individual link-like shapes that almost touch, giving the letterforms a glittering, dimensional effect. The wordmark echoes the linking or beaded structure of the metalwork, while the monogram merges the “C,” “X” and “C” into an interlocking clasp-like form. The highly visual approach also carries through to the website, which shows off the jewelry with a surrealist sense of surprise, drama and mystery. ”

Pentagram is the world’s largest independent design consultancy. The firm is owned and run by 21 partners, a group of friends who are all leaders in their individual fields. Each of their clients works directly with one or more of their partners. This reflects their conviction that great design cannot happen without passion, intelligence, and personal commitment, which is demonstrated by a portfolio of work that spans five decades.

Brand Identity for Era Ceramics by Menta

“Era Ceramics creates dinnerware and decor basics to homes that value a slower pace and cherish handmade over industrialized. A simple manifesto. It’s all about bringing friends and family together, for the love of having a joyful meal that gradually reveals the beauty of the materials. We created an identity that captures certain tribal feel, with a modern take. The monogram features letters e and c, combined in basic circular shapes.”

Menta is an independent branding & illustration studio founded by Laura Méndez, in 2008. They believe in the Simplicity of Allure, to deliver effective brand identities that balance classic & contemporary aesthetics, through research and clear concept definition. Their work builds meaningful human connections and stirs up beautiful experiences.
