The Gap inc. GFW Live! Talk Space was host to Swarovski’s Conscious Design discussion. As the sponsors for our Conscious Design Award, Swarovski took the lead on our panel discussing the importance of being socially responsible when it comes to fashion.
Here at Graduate Fashion Week, we not only have UK based institutions, but many from around the globe. Our International Fashion Award Show this year takes place on Wednesday 6th June in the Truman Brewery, Shoreditch.
We are so pleased to announce that along with Nadja Swarovski joining Graduate Fashion Foundation as an International Lifetime Patron, the world-renowned crystal company will provide 28 crystal trophies for the award winners at the prestigious Gala Award Show, and supported a new Swarovski Sustainable Accessories Competition showcasing upcycled crystal!
The Swarovski International Catwalk Competition took place on the final day of GFW and the audience spent the afternoon eagerly anticipating the winner announcement. As is always the case, it was difficult to bestow the award upon just one young designer, as the 32 university strong show, was refreshing, energetic and eye opening.
We are proud to announce that Swarovski will be this year's main sponsor for the renowned International Catwalk Show Competition; returning for its fifth year. The Swarovski International Catwalk Show Competition invites the world’s leading fashion institutes to enter their top graduate collection; GFW showcases the best and most innovative students they have to offer under one platform. From The New School Parsons in New York, Donghua University China, Bunka in Japan, Accademia Costume & Moda Rome and numerous other European institutes, it is set to be the largest show yet in the history of the worldwide competition.
