House of iKons: London Fashion Week February 2019

Millennium Gloucester Hotel London will host the spectacular House of iKons event during London Fashion Week on February 16 and 17, 2019.

Established by Savita Kaye under Lady Production, the event, which promotes global fashion talent successfully enters its fifth year.

House of iKons February 2019 will concentrate on men’s, women’s and kids fashion as well as showcasing SexyBack to Curves.

Ever since launching in 2014, the event has grown from strength to strength. Savita and her team continue to raise the bar with each year passing.

In 2018, House of iKons became the first UK brand to introduce robots on the catwalk.

Supporting emerging talent, the event also provided a valuable opportunity to a young 13-year-old designer who produced bespoke pieces, which gained media attention around the world.

DESIblitz.com presents more insight into the 2019 spring event, along with highlighting some of the different designers and segments during the two days:

House of iKons February 2019

The early 2019 edition of the event will bring the world of fashion and creativity together under one roof.

House of iKons once again will support designers and brands from across the globe. This will give them a unique platform for maximum exposure, elevating them to the next level.

Many of the boutiques and departmental stores from around the world house some of the designs that will be on show during the two days.

Several designers that will be in attendance have a history of consulting some of the top celebrities on red carpet events, music gigs and videos.

Beyonce, Jlo, Paris Hilton and Michelle Obama are a few who have been dressed by the iKons.

Speaking about the forthcoming event CEO Savita Kaye says:

“This season we will be highlighting beauty and creativity not just in design and music but for all regardless of ethnicity, size, shape and sexual orientation.

“As everyone has the right to feel and look good, feel confident about who they are in the here and now.”

“Everyone has that right and we will continue to push boundaries and stereotypes… we are still a small drop in this big ocean.

“But we will continue to create a storm and bring beauty and creativity to whoever you are, where ever you are, from around the world.”

In 2019, for the first time, House of iKons introduces plus-size models. Also, transgender models will be at the forefront.

The whole event will offer a variety for everyone’s needs. Everyone will find something to their taste, ranging from vintage, retro, traditional to contemporary styles and textures.

At the same time, all the brands that will be on show are stylistically authentic.

Avalon Hair and Beauty is the sponsor of the event, while DESIblitz.com is a key media partner, as it has been since the inauguration of the show.

The combination of all the best creations will try to give a sensational fashion feel to those attending, including VIP guests and the general public.

iKonic Men and Women’s Wear

Day one, consisting of two parts will celebrate designers from North America, Europe and Asia.

Each of them will bring something special to the runway, presenting a different fashion style and look.

Mullika Nakara, a young contemporary designer will open the show for the first segment.

Fashion designer and flight attendant, Jacinta Lingon from Cleveland, will follow suit next. Lingon has received many awards from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale.

Her style is simple and bold, with a touch of eccentricity. This clearly indicates that the House of iKons aims to push fashion boundaries further.

Designer Monica Jones who is third in line notices that the common style only appeals to skinny, light skin and long-haired women.

Her brand NanaLola Couture designs with a goal to create and promote contemporary vintage clothes for all sizes and genders.

Furthermore, Dapper Homme from Mumbai, India will make an appearance at the show. They are a leading online shopping website catering for men, selling formal wear and accessories.

Their limited collections make their customers stand out and remembered forever.

American Uma will be on the catwalk for the grand finale of the first show.

As part of the grand opening for segment two, the brand Aranjuez will present their high fashion streetwear.

Aranjuez fuses the local style of Compostela Valley with formal wear. They simultaneously combine their craft with fashion entrepreneurship.

Natasha Moby Millinery who goes in next is a British head-wear fashion brand.

She designs unusual and dramatically eccentric pieces that certainly make her customers stand out from the crowd.

Aarti Mahtani, a Mumbai based clothing store follows next. They mostly create dresses combining traditional British and Indian designs.

Taj B Designs who aim to make people look good lie in the fourth position according to the schedule.

Fitoor, a traditional clothes shop also based in India will walk the ramp in fifth position.

Kitu Kali a brand originating from Nairobi, Kenya who produce hand made shoes from traditional African fabrics also feature in the second segment.
