It’s only been two months since Catherine Watts left Graduate Fashion Week, with two impressive awards in her hands, after captivating the judges with her childrenswear collection on our SmartFocus Catwalk. Catherine was announced the winner of the Mothercare Childrenswear Award as well as the Dame Vivienne Westwood Sustainable and Ethical Award, and is now working with the likes of Mothercare and Lenzing Materials. We caught up to discover what life has been like since Graduate Fashion Week, her thoughts on the experience and what the future holds for this exceptionally talented graduate.
As we near closer to the beginning of #GFW17, the awards are beginning to be announced!
We're particularly excited to announce that Mothercare are going to be supporting the Mothercare Childrenswear Award, which will send £1000 to the winning graduate, with the placement of your collection into Mothercare stores.
This is a particularly exciting award, as childrenswear is an often overlooked part of the industry, but a large and influential sector. It's fantastic to have a brand that dominates the market in this area, offering brilliant opportunities to soon-to-be graduates.
