Designer Roland Mouret yesterday announced that he is collaborating with Simon Fuller on a new project called '19 RM'. Fuller, the successful talent agent behind The Spice Girls, Annie Lennox and Pop Idol , and Mouret are equal partners in the new company, whose first projects will be announced within the coming weeks. "I have a passionate belief in talent and creators," Fuller said at the official announcement at Nobu. "I hope that this combination of Roland as a creator and me as an entrepreneur will be a wonderful partnership." Mouret shocked the fashion industry when he left his own company and left us waiting impatiently until he revealed his next project. "This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for me," he told Vogue. "Simon has allowed me the creative freedom to build a new vision of a fashion business and one that is relevant for me today and for the future. His confidence in me as a creative spirit is outstanding and very inspiring and his business knowledge allows me to look at fashion, not just from the catwalk, but from any direction."
