A collaboration between the British Fashion Council and Value Retail, 2011's British Designers Collective (hosted by British actress Thandie Newton) is a great opportunity to check out the hottest new British designers and purchase from their ranges at a greatly discounted price.
Along with Bicester Village's permanent luxury boutiques, you'll find the new designers featured including award-winning Jonathan Saunders with his signature graphic prints, Felicity Brown, Holly Fulton, Markus Lupfer with his sequined knitwear, Todd Lynn, Preen, Emma Cook, Felder Felder, Goat, Jean-Pierre Braganza, Marios Schwab and Osman.
And let us not forget about the accessories! Georgina Goodman has been called the 'future of footwear' by Manolo Blahnik for her artistic shoes, while Lara Bohinc and Fiona Paxton bring their jewellery ranges. Jane Carr shall also be there with her hand-finshed scarves.
Bicester Village is about 1 hour from London, with a daily coach service available, and offers over 130 luxury fashion brands with discounts of up to 60% off. Notable brands include Gucci, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, DKNY and Paul Smith, among others.
With a Starbucks, Pret A Manger, French cuisine at Villandry, Thai at Busaba Eathai, or the authentic Italian eatery Carluccio's.
The British Designers Collective event runs from March 31st to May 8th.
