Here at Graduate Fashion Foundation, the charity behind the Graduate Fashion Week event every June, we're committed to supporting new fashion talent and GFW alumni throughout their careers in the industry. As part of this ethos, we teamed up with Pure London this weekend, to showcase selected graduates designs on their stage.
Fraser Miller, graduate of De Montfort University and joint winner of the Visionary Knitwear Award, took inspiration from the textures, patterns and styles of the wallpaper, curtain and tiles in the 70's, 80's and 90's. We caught up with Fraser to hear more about the surreal experience of winning, why networking is so crucial for success and the importance of developing independence in your design process. Find out why he's discouraging the 'good grade attitude' !
Graduate Fashion Week is going global, are we're thrilled to announce that thirteen of our graduates will be showcasing their inspiring collections in Dubai for Fashion Forward 2017.
We caught up with our 25th Anniversary award winners to ask them about their experience of GFW, how they got there and what they have planned for their futures in fashion!
