Niamh Carr, graduate of Manchester Fashion Institute, recently won £1000 and a further £500 for her university, by creating a denim jacket and winning the Lenzing Sustainable Denim Competition! We wanted to find out more about the photography that inspired the collection, why sustainability and responsibility aren't trends and the meaning behind the name of Niamh's final collection "Just Do Your Bit”, so we caught up with the young designer to hear more about her work.
In the months before Graduate Fashion Week 2018, designers were spending their days and evenings working in their university studios, preparing for the catwalk and creating pieces that represent their ideas and passions. Before GFW18 begun, we collaborated with many brands to offer competitions, and the designers shortlisted in the Lenzing Sustainable Denim Competition, are the pioneers of tomorrow. Find out more about their work here.
On Friday afternoon, the shortlisted candidates for the Lenzing Sustainable Denim Competition were invited to Blackhorse Lane Atelier in Walthamstow to attend a series of talks and workshops designed to educate in the production of denim and sustainable materials.
This is the last week for the chance to enter our Lenzing Sustainable Denim Competition for the chance to win £1000 for yourself and £500 for your university!
Here at Graduate Fashion Week, we have launched three exciting competitions that you are able to enter! We have teamed up with Fatface, Lectra and Lenzing to bring to you three amazing awards with fabulous prizes.
We are happy to announce The Dame Vivienne Westwood Sustainable and Ethical Award sponsored by Lenzing Group, supported by The Sustainable Angle and Ethical Fashion Forum.
To win this prestigious award, the judges will be looking out for a design that is sustainable, ethically aware and socially responsible with a lower environmental impact that embodies and communicates sustainable and ethical practices.
