The place for your school and college students to discover the excitement and opportunity of the fashion industry.



School & Colleges day at Graduate Fashion Week began in 2024 and has since welcomed more than 1,000 students to Graduate Fashion Week, Truman Brewery, with the aim of widening the horizons of young people from across the UK.

From interactive styling and illustration workshops to industry panels and catwalk shows, the curated day is designed to enable students under the age of 18, to discover new pathways into industry, university education and potential future roles.

It is curated to give all students, no matter their background, the chance to envision themselves as part of the £62million fashion and textiles industry, an industry that supports more than 1.3million jobs.*

With a chance to speak directly to university students and graduates across more than 30+ stands across the exhibition, Graduate Fashion Week provides the most comprehensive view of the industry today, with multidisciplinary educational development opportunities across merchandising, textiles, design, digital, communications, promotion and more.
