Ahead of London's mayoral election, Ken Livingstone has announced his backing for a "permanent venue" for London Fashion Week. "London is a world centre for fashion. Great designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and John Galliano use London as a place of inspiration, to experiment and launch new ideas," he explained in his Cultural Manifesto, delivered at yesterday's launch of Culture in 21st century London at the Institute of Contemporary Arts.
"I will ensure there is support for the new design talent that is the bedrock of the industry. I will help London Fashion Week establish a permanent venue in the capital. At the same time I will work to improve conditions in the industry, particularly for models, through ensuring that the recommendations of the Model Health Inquiry are implemented," he continued.
