London Fashion Week and the first day of school both happen in September, and now former teacher M.J. Couch can say she's tackled both. Couch, who runs the St. John's-based line Melanie Jacqueline, just returned from showcasing her designs at London Fashion Week for the first time. There she presented her line with the help of the Oxford Fashion Studio, whose mission is to give independent designers international exposure. This was her first time at London's fashion week, but she did a similar showcase at New York Fashion Week last year after being invited by Oxford Fashion Studio. Presenting at London Fashion Week, one of the world's premier fashion events, involves paying fees to cover models, video, hair and photography.
