Emerging Brand: Fyodor Golan

     
F/W 2012

F/W 2012
After looking through many of the collections featured in the Paris, London, New York and Milan fashion weeks, Fyodor Golan, a label I had never looked at in great detail, caught my attention with their wonderful Fall/Winter 2012 collection. Fyodor Podgorny and Golan Frydman, the young designers of this beautiful and innovative women’s clothing brand, featured in London Fashion Week, started this label just two years ago.

In the late 2000’s, after the two had finished their studies (Fyodor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, and Golan at the Istituto Marangoni) they met in England and were married just before the launch of their brand, which they personally funded in 2010. In 2011, they were the winners of Fashion Fringe, a competition for new designers created by Colin McDowell, with the goal of discovering and encouraging innovative young designers who planned to develop their careers in London.
