The British Fashion Council (BFC) and GQ Magazine founded the Fund in September 2013, it offers Christopher Shannon a £150k grant. The grant is to be used to provide the necessary infrastructure to take him to the next stage of his business with the addition of £50k value in services such as a bespoke, high level mentoring support programme over a 12 month period. A brilliant leg up.
Shannon was announced as the winner of the inaugural BFC/GQ Designer Menswear Fund, supported by Vertu, in London, on Monday night (June 9th).
