Roland Mouret may well be French by birth but he has truly been taken under the London fashion wing as he spends much of his time in the British capital. Sad news then that today it was announced that he's taking his RM designs to Paris for next season.
Mouret will join the exclusive Paris Couture schedule from March 2009 although he plans to speed up the system by making his clothes available in just 2 months.
Cast your mind back to October 2007 when florals were just a twinkle in our fashion eye. Stella McCartney showed her floral inspired collection in Paris in front of an impressively green backdrop featuring 30 plant species. Typically McCartney had her eye on the ethical implications of her show and did not want all the plants to simply be used in a twenty-minute fashion show so donated the plants to disadvantaged residents in Boulogne-Billancourt outside Paris. 
Gareth Pugh has been presenting his gothic, unusual, dramatic designs in London for many seasons. His show has become a highlight of the catwalk schedule in London but this season he's heading to Paris.
Yesterday it was announced that Gareth Pugh was the winner of the prestigious ANDAM award presenting him 150,000 Euros (the largest fashion prize pot in the world) to develop his business and show at Paris Fashion Week.
