Nicky Hayer, Creative Director of YFW, said: “We’ve got some really exciting new brands and designers involved this season, and it’s fantastic to see that the demand for a menswear show was there too. It’s important to us that YFW keeps developing and reaches new audiences, and this feels like a fantastic step forward for us.”
