Ilius and his Alternative Fashion Week Debut

 

Fashion designer Ilius Ahmed took part in this year’s Alternative Fashion Week held at Spitalfields Market in London’s Eastend. Here’s what he had to say about the experience:

 

 

“It was really manic but the show went really well. I was lucky enough to use Antoinette from ‘Make Me A Supermodel’ – she was beautiful.”

 

 

 

 

So what’s next on the agenda for the Ilius label?

 

 

“My plans are to design my next collection I have sold several pieces from my Spring/Summer line, which has been successful, but I am really homing in on getting editorial and magazine coverage. I also had an interview at the Royal College of Art to study at MA level, just waiting to see if I get a place, fingers crossed.”
