When asked if he had any fun or interesting facts about himself, Starsica incredulously replied "interesting about me?! I'm just a normal guy." This modesty, just the morning after a killer showcase at the Ones to Watch show, just makes the designer even more charming.
It was only last year that Billie Jacobina showed her graduate collection at Graduate Fashion Week and this year she is showing during London Fashion Week with Fashion Scout! A graduate of UCA Rochester, Billie attempts to break boundaries within the textile industry by adding additional techniques to fashion and making them contemporary, bringing Billie's dreams and fantasies alive. Her clothes are captivating, with a unique use of print and fabric.
Billie Jacobina's presentation takes place on Friday 17th February at 12pm.
After graduating from Ravensbourne in 2015, Ester Kubisz showcased at the Graduate Fashion Week catwalk and went on to win the Best Garment Award at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Central Europe.

In her last collection Ester showed deconstructed and recreated men's pin stipe suits with a raw take on professional menswear; we can't wait to see what Ester has to show this season!
Ester Kubisz' catwalk show takes place on Sunday 19th February at 16:30.

In 2011 Rory Langdon from Nottingham Trent University was recognised for his exceptional ability in design, cut and construction and excellent use of colour and fabric with the Gold Award. He now works in Italy as a freelance knitwear designer after having worked for Mugler, Belstaff and Max Mara.
Not only did Chloe Jones from Bath Spa University win the Gold Award in 2012, she also took home the Womenswear Award. She then went on to show at London Fashion Week with Fashion Scout and now works as a Junior Designer at River Island.
Last year's Gold Award winner Hazel Symons from De Montfort University, won the Award with her collection of monochrome pieces that were bolted together rather than sewn. This collection was innovative and forward thinking and truly unique. Sophie is currently working with Sophie Hulme, who was one of the judges, as an Accessory Design Intern.
We are so proud of all the talent that has been exhibited at GFW and can't wait to see what is coming up this year on the 4th to 7th June.
