In the partnership, Gordon Ramsay will feed restaurants at the events of the British Fashion Council, including the London Fashion Week.
“We are incredibly proud to be the first hospitality matron of the BFC and to see excitedly how this relationship develops,” he continued.
Caroline Rush, the outgoing managing director of the British Fashion -Coucil, repeated his feeling.
“This cooperation reflects British Excellence and brings together two industries that live from innovation, craftsmanship and creativity. This intersection of fashion and food also offers exciting opportunities to improve our events and initiatives, ”she added.
During the London Fashion Week in February, the BFC dealt with British designers and culture. The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, even opened the three-day pop-up shop of the British Fashion Council on Regent Street, which he described as “probably the best street in Europe”.
Khan, who also took part in the Harris Reed Show, said he wanted to increase the support of the British fashion industry at the opening.
“We have to convince the new government how important fashion is for our economy at a national level. Fashion contributes £ 64 billion. Half of it comes from London, but it is also who we are, ”he said.
