Graduate Fashion Week 2009
The nation’s celebration of brand new fashion talent began yesterday with a buzz as graduate shows from Universities across the country took to the catwalk.
Although a smaller graduating class, Edinburgh’s design students put on a fantastic show with contributors drawing creative inspiration from a wide variety of sources including exotic folk culture and musical genres.
Despite this it was Northumbria University who were the highlight of the day. (Blog Ed: Slight bias detected perhaps?) The students provided a stunning display of artistic and technically precise craftsmanship, wowing spectators with dramatic tailoring and hand beaded and woven masterpieces.
The standard was definitely set for the shows to come throughout the week and the judges on the River Island awards panel were sure to have a tough decision on their hands!
