British luxury industry body Walpole has revealed the 12 names that will take part in its Brands of Tomorrow mentorship programme.

The brands selected are Agi & Sam, Capstar, Helen Amy Murray, Tessa Packard, Alexandra Llewellyn, Duke & Dexter, Hillier Bartley, The New Craftsmen, Camilla Elphick, Exmoor Caviar, Rory Dobner and Troubadour Goods.

Backed by Mishcon de Reya and Sloane Point Partners the scheme, which has been running for 10 years will partner the brands with industry mentors and provides workshops on vital business issues from financial planning to marketing and business management.

Agape Mdumulla, who along with and Sam Cotton, founded the menswear line Agi & Sam told WWD: “We need to take advantage of the attention while ensuring that we emerge and cement our place within the faculty of other established British fashion designers. With the help of Walpole and its mentors we can critically analyze the various paths available to us.”

Alumni of the scheme, which was launched in 2007, include Charlotte Olympia, Oliver Sweeney, Agent Provocateur, Thomas Pink and Shaun Leane.

Walpole’s members are drawn from all corners of the luxury sector but fashion names include Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Jimmy Choo, Farfetch and Yoox Net-A-Porter Group, which became a member at the end of last year.
