Donatella Versace has been revealed as the new chairperson of the Fashion Fringe design talent competition.
The designer takes over from Tom Ford who has been in charge of the annual competition for the last two years.
The contest searches for new talent in the UK and offers one new designer a year with £100,000 of funding, to allow them to show a collection at London Fashion Week.
British designers including Gavin Douglas, Erdem, and Basso & Brooke are just a few of the previous winners who's careers have been given a boost by the competition.
"I am very honoured to be joining the committee of Fashion Fringe as their chairperson," said Versace about her new role.
"This is an event which I have had great interest in since it began in 2004. London has an unbeatable reputation as the originator of unique fashion talent, and it is very exciting for me to be personally involved in discovering and supporting that talent through the Fashion Fringe initiative."
