Fashion Scout, the international showcase for fashion pioneers, is delighted to announce the three winners of The Ones to Watch Award for London Fashion Week SS19: Aucarre, Nous Etudions and Price on Request. Selected from a long list of emerging designers, the Ones To Watch winners receive the opportunity to showcase during London Fashion Week.
Fashion Scout’s Ones To Watch provides a unique platform for the brightest new designers, with many going on to become established labels in the international fashion industry. For the first time in the history of the award, the SS19 season sees three winners presented in a group showcase in the Vestibule Catwalk Hall. Created in 2014, this collaborative show is now in its 11th season and continues to be one of the most anticipated shows during LFW. Ones to Watch is instrumental in raising the profile of emerging design on a global scale, playing a major role in the promotion of design innovation.
Based in Croatia and established in 2016 by designer Gala Marija Vrbanic, Price on Request is an award-winning multi gender brand.

Gala has won multiple international competitions both in fields of fashion and graphic design, being the winners of the 2017 ELLE Style Award Croatia and the Fashion Scout South East Europe 2018 Award. Price on Request is gaining acknowledgement for their work all across Europe. The brand cuts a clean oversized silhouette with multilayers and reflective elements.
Aucarre is a brand which emphasizes feminine power by elevating and giving voice to all women. As new designers they are very much intrigued by making our own stories and creating contemporary characters using pioneering fabrication, contemporary aesthetic and luxury style elements. Founded by the twin designers with Greek origins; Eirini and Dimitra who both after graduating with a BSc in Bimolecular and Genetic Science, moved to London to study Fashion and Arts at Central Saint Martins in BA Fashion Design with Print and Knitwear. During their journey to launching their own label, the sisters assisted designers at international labels including Mary Katrantzou, Gucci and Chanel.
Nous Etudions is an Argentine brand created by designer Romi Cardillo in 2014. It’s philosophy is linked to sustainability, veganism and non-gender traditions. The reformulation of traditional tailoring, the handling of monochrome whilst defining the colour palette, the oversized predominant silhouettes and the experimentation of handmade textiles is what defines the Nous Etudions as a minimalist brand.
