Blahnik’s work will appear at the autumn/winter 2013-14 show schedule, which takes place next February.

The sketches will be seen across all campaign and marketing material – both print and digital – for the event.

Blahnik – who was given a blank canvas and an open brief – said in a statement: “English women and their style inspire me tremendously.

“This series of drawings represents some of the figures I adore and who have influenced my life and work. I like extreme girls and the combination of the poise, the grandeur and the beauty of English women.”

Caroline Rush, chief executive of the BFC, said: “We are so pleased to be collaborating with Manolo Blahnik, our BFA Outstanding Achievement winner for 2012, in this capacity.

“Manolo’s sketches are world-famous and it will be both great fun and inspirational to see these displayed across London Fashion Week in February 2013.”

London Fashion Week runs from Friday 15 – Tuesday 19 February 2013.
