In addition to sponsoring the main catwalk shows and exhibition space, Land Rover will also support the On|Off Visionary Award, which was created five years ago to showcase emerging design talent and help promote and support their new businesses.

Land Rover has teamed up with On|Off and a panel of industry experts; including On|Off founder Lee Lapthorne, LOVE magazine editor-in-chief Katie Grand, creative director and wife/muse of Rankin Tuuli, On|Off fashion director Claire Ginzler, fashion designer Roksanda Ilincic, Whistles CEO Jane Shepherdson and Harpers BAZAAR deputy editor Sarah Bailey to help select the winner and offer support going forward.
The AW12 Land Rover Visionary Award Winner will receive financial help towards the costs of their catwalk space at On|Off’s venue in Paris, Espace Commines, one-to-one mentoring sessions with all committee members and a £5,000 cash injection for their new business.
The shortlisted designers are Naco Paris, Cunnington and Sanderson, Thomas Wakeford and Raphaelle H’Limi.
