NATASCHA STOLLE is hottest name on London Fashion scene

NATASCHA STOLLE has just officially become one of the hottest names on the London Fashion scene. The designer, who showed her MA collection at the Central Saint Martins show last season, has grabbed the spot vacated by Noki to become the newest member of the achingly hip Fashion East line-up.

Stolle will join third-timer Louise Gray and second-timer David David (who also joins the New Gen set this season) on the Fashion East catwalk at London Fashion Week in September, VOGUE.COM is excited to announce.

Stolle, who describes her work as "clothes for girls who wish they'd been sluts in high school", caught the eye of Fashion East founder Lulu Kennedy at the CSM Grad show with her eye for mixing grown-up style with an underlying vibe of teenage sexuality - and fun.

"The character she was sending out was someone I could believe in and relate to; the kind of girl I'd be friends with... Who'd lend me her clothes," Kennedy explains.

With Stolle, Gray and David David onboard and TopShop providing sponsorship for the show for the tenth consecutive season, Fashion East again promises one not to be missed.

"Fashion East has established itself as an important platform to showcase the best of London's emerging designers," says Topshop's joint managing director, Mary Homer. "And this season, with the addition of Natascha Stolle to its stable, it promises to further consolidate it' reputation for delivering raw, exciting London-based talent to the international catwalks."
