In 1996 Kennedy started working for the owners of the Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane in East London. Together in 2000 they launched a non-profit initiative, Fashion East, dedicated to scouting and nurturing young designers, enabling them to show at London Fashion Week. She set up MAN in 2005 in partnership with Topman – an identical support scheme for emerging menswear designers. Kennedy launched Jonathan Saunders, House of Holland, Roksanda Ilincic, Gareth Pugh, Richard Nicoll, Christopher Shannon, Charles Jeffrey, and Craig Green. Kennedy launched her own clothing brand Lulu & Co in 2010 to mark Fashion East's 10th anniversary. Initially created as a limited edition capsule collection of ten archive dresses by ten Fashion East designers, Kennedy went on to develop the line in house, often collaborating with friends such as artists Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Barry Reigate, Bella Freud & Susie Bick, art director Boyo Studio, and photographer Mary McCartney. It is carried internationally at stockists including Liberty and Net-a-Porter.
