FANNIE SCHIAVONI is a London based womenswear label established in 2009.
Born in Sweden, Fannie Åkerblom moved to London at the age of 18 to study tailoring at London College of Fashion, where she later progressed to the BA (Hons) Fashion Design Womenswear course. Having completed a number of internships alongside her studies for designers including Hussein Chalayan and Giles Deacon, she launched her first collection before graduating in Spring 2009.

She continued to receive the award for three consecutive seasons.
