Rise of the fourth conglomerate

Li & Fung is a trading empire founded in Hong Kong run by William Fung and brother Victor Fung. The brothers are buying into British heritage, slowly buying brands, particularly on Savile Row.
They already own Gieves and Hawkes,Hardy Aimes and recently Kilgour, the Savile Row tailors who have dressed celebrities including Jude Law,Hugh Grant and Daniel Craig.

Apparently Fung's plan is to add keep adding more upmarket menswear brands to the group, creating synergies to build the brands up in Asia and the US. I wonder who will be next on their list?

Mens fashion week is taking place from sunday 16th June - Tuesday 18th June, showcasing over 70 menswear designers. The event is designed to showcase the best of British fashion talent, including up and coming designers who will get the chance to show off their work, more established designers such as JW Anderson and Topman, global menswear brands and Savile Row tailors. Dylan Jones, Editor at GQ and chair of the menswear committee has said men's fashion week "Was far more successful than any of us anticipated, and we have been overwhelmed by the support and enthusiasm for the project from designers, buyers and the press."

The British Fashion Council have rounded up the best of emerging talent for a second year, to showcase their collections for Spring/Summer 14. I think the ones to watch are Agi and Sam, a design duo with a strong emphasis on print and humour, i love their loud prints,bright suits and sense of colour
