The winner of the 2018 LVMH Prize for emerging fashion designers will be revealed on Wednesday 6 June, by a jury which includes some of the French luxury group\u2019s household names, among them Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Haider Ackermann and Clare Waight Keller. The shortlist features nine designers hailing from the four corners of the world, each of them unique in their own way.

Ahead of the winner\u2019s proclamation, FashionNetwork.com will tell the nine designers\u2019 stories, the first of our three articles focusing on this year\u2019s strong posse of London-based candidates:\u00a0Samuel Ross, Charles Jeffrey <\/span>and<span style=\"font-family: san-francisco-light; font-size: 14pt;\"> Rok Hwang.

A graphic design and illustration graduate of the De Montfort University in Leicester, Ross is a designer, stylist <\/span>and<span style=\"font-family: san-francisco-light; font-size: 14pt;\"> musician. He launched a first streetwear label called <\/span>2wnt4,<span style=\"font-family: san-francisco-light; font-size: 14pt;\"> and was then hired by Virgil Abloh to work at the creative agency set up by Kanye West, Donda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: san-francisco-light; font-size: 14pt;\">Ross worked with the future creator of Off-White for three years, busy on a range of creative projects, from concept stores to set designs and art films for the fashion and music industry. In 2015, he changed tack again, launching his own label A-Cold-Wall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: san-francisco-light; font-size: 14pt;\">Referencing the urban environment in which Ross grew up, A-Cold-Wall is a hymn to London street culture, inspired by the British metropolitan middle and working classes, their mood and wardrobe quirks. It reflects a social landscape interpreted by Ross to produce a men\u2019s and women\u2019s style which blends an haute couture vibe with streetwear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: san-francisco-light; font-size: 14pt;\">A-Cold-Wall works with tech materials and a minimalistic palette of patterns and <\/span>colours<span style=\"font-family: san-francisco-light; font-size: 14pt;\">, showing a penchant for symmetric cuts and the occasional sheer effect. The label quickly won over about twenty retailers worldwide, from Barneys in New York to H.Lorenzo in Los Angeles, Restir in Tokyo, Selfridges in London and l\u2019Eclaireur in Paris.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: san-francisco-light; font-size: 14pt;\">Samuel Ross is a multi-talented designer who, in parallel with his catwalk shows, loves to produce artistic performances, installations and collaborations, such as the Concrete Objects furniture and design collection, the Air Force One\/A-Cold-Wall sneaker model dropped with Nike at the end of 2017, and the store installations he designed for Barneys, Off-White and Harvey Nichols.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Samuel Ross shows his menswear in London, where he set up his creative studio in 2017.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"table\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.garmento.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/4c62.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8986 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.garmento.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/4c62.jpg\" alt=\"fashion garmento\" width=\"650\" height=\"866\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.garmento.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/4c62.jpg 650w, http:\/\/www.garmento.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/4c62-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.garmento.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/4c62-600x799.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Charles Jeffrey, designer of Loverboy &#8211; Fran\u00e7ois Goize<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: san-francisco-light;\">Charles Jeffrey\u00a0was born in Glasgow, Scotland. Aged 18, he moved to London, where he studied at the Central Saint Martins School. Inspired by the Club Kids culture and the vibrant East London night-life, he surrounded himself with an entourage of creatives, musicians, artists and drag queens with whom he partied in hipster hangouts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: san-francisco-light;\">After a three-month internship at Christian Dior\u2019s ateliers in Paris, Jeffrey returned to London where he staged his \u2018Loverboy\u2019 club nights at cult East London venue VF (Vogue Fabrics) Dalston. These club nights gave birth to a brand, Loverboy, and a style heavily influenced by club culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: san-francisco-light;\">Jeffrey caught the eye of Lulu Kennedy, founder of Fashion East (a support platform for young fashion design talent, also involved in the creation of London Top Design Talent), and he showcased his collections as part of the MAN project by Topman and Fashion East for three seasons from Spring\/Summer 2016.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: san-francisco-light;\">At his first solo collection\u2019s event, for Spring\/Summer 2018, Charles Jeffrey unveiled a world of fantastic creatures showing his men\u2019s and women\u2019s looks in a joy-filled atmosphere, blending uber-graphic items and collage prints, references to Matisse, William Hogarth and his Scottish roots, and spawning an uninhibited style in which tailoring rhymes with punk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: san-francisco-light;\">Charles Jeffrey won the British Emerging Talent Award for menswear at the 2017 British Fashion <\/span>Awards,<span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: san-francisco-light;\"> and has signed several collaborations, including a womenswear capsule collection for Matchesfashion.com.

After three years as a stylist at C\u00e9line, during the Phoebe Philo era, and stints at Louis Vuitton and Chlo\u00e9, the yearning to go solo took over and he launched womenswear label Rokh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: san-francisco-light; font-size: 14pt;\">Rokh exudes a timeless, destructured feel, steeped in nostalgia but with a contemporary twist, each garment conceived to last for multiple seasons. Rokh\u2019s collections are a personal take on classic items, with radical silhouettes and a neutral <\/span>colour<span style=\"font-family: san-francisco-light; font-size: 14pt;\"> palette.
