Fresh off the Runway activation displayed in each of the show’s five visitors entrances of BLE
Fashion Licensing is on trend at BLE, the Fashion-x-Licensing activation Fresh off the Runway presented all over Brand Licensing show.
In the week that fashion designers Fyodor Golan sent models dressed like Trolls down the catwalk at London Fashion Week following previous collaborations with My Little Pony, Transformers, Coca-Cola, Post- it, Power Puff Girls and Chupa Chups, Brand Licensing Europe has announced it is bringing fashion licensing to next month’s show with a brand new Fresh off the Runway activation.
Fresh off the Runway will see a jaw-dropping display of Fashion-x-Licensing collabs on super-styled mannequins in each of the show’s five visitor entrances, from N1 through to N5, from exhibitors Viacom Nickelodeon, Mattel, Universal Studios, CPLG, Tinderbox, Sanrio & Difuzed, Maurizio Distefano Licensing and Perfetti van Melle.
“When fashion meets licensing, something truly special happens,” said Anna Knight, VP Licensing. “The SpongeBob x Marlou Breuls collection is powerfully conceptual; an amusing clash of high art meets frivolity. You can’t help but smile when you see it. Mattel’s Barbie by Patrizia Pepe and the DRKN OFFICIAL Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare®* capsule collection embody the essence of both brands and really speak to fans: they are relatable and covetable yet also accessible. British fashion house Chinti & Parker has encapsulated the innocence and values of Peanuts perfectly. And after falling in love with Jimmy Paul’s Sesame Street collab, we can’t wait to see his Hello Kitty collab. All of the collabs at BLE are making their debut in the brand licensing industry. Some are, indeed, ‘fresh off the runway’, others haven’t even been launched yet. We are really humbled to be able to present such exciting and inspirational content to our visitors and, when it comes to BLE 2020, all I’ll say is ‘watch this space’.”
