Scott Henshall to headline Source Fashion catwalk in July

British designer Scott Henshall is to headline Source Fashion’s statement catwalk show for its July edition. The former creative director of mulberry will present a curated showcase spanning new collaborations with London-based womenswear brand House of Kind and sustainable fashion label Coco Beau London, plus archival pieces.

Launching exclusively at Source Fashion, the collections will debut on the show’s runway at Excel London across 7–9 July, “offering buyers and industry professionals a first look at these highly anticipated partnerships”.

The catwalk show will run three times daily, combining the headline designer’s showcases with trend-led edits from exhibiting manufacturers. While Henshall’s collection will take center stage, “curated trend scenes will highlight commercially relevant pieces from across the show floor”, said Source Fashion.

“Together, this format offers buyers a dynamic, real-time view of how design innovation and responsible sourcing come together in practice”, it added

Aside his shows, Henshall will also feature in the wider event’s content programme, appearing in a live interview on 8 July, “offering further insight into his career and latest collaborations”.

Henshall debuted at London Fashion Week in 1998 as its youngest ever on-schedule designer. He later became the youngest creative director of Mulberry and has since “built a global reputation” dressing celebrity clients including Madonna, Kylie Minogue and Victoria Beckham.

The collaboration with House of Kind also “marks a significant moment for the London-based womenswear brand, which has quickly gained recognition for its purpose-driven approach to modern workwear”.

Its founder and CEO Sonica Beckmann said: “As a globally respected trade show, it connects us with the right partners and provides a powerful platform to grow internationally.”

The collaboration with Coco Beau London will feature a collection created using recycled materials and “reflects a shared commitment to responsible fashion and accessible design.

Jacquelyn Cole, CEO of Coco Beau London, added: “Showcasing this collection… is a powerful opportunity to demonstrate that high-end style and ethical responsibility are inseparable. It’s not just about the aesthetic, but about driving meaningful change and supporting initiatives such as our work with the Sea Turtle Foundation.”

Suzanne Ellingham, Event director of Source Fashion, also said: “Bringing Scott Henshall to [our] catwalk as our headline designer creates a fantastic moment for the show. Scott’s involvement continues to build the caliber and relevance of our catwalk program and reflects exactly what Source is about, connecting design, creativity and production in a way that is both purpose led and commercially relevant.”
