Final year students from Northumbria University's three undergraduate Fashion programmes have impressed the judges at this year’s Graduate Fashion Foundation Awards, with 26 students shortlisted across 16 different categories.
This year the Foundation’s flagship event Graduate Fashion Week - the world’s largest showcase of talent for new graduates - takes place from 21st to 25th June at Coal Drops Yard, London.
Graduate Fashion Week will feature a presentation from Northumbria on Friday 24th June, online industry talks, design exhibitions and a digital portfolio platform – providing an excellent opportunity for final year students to impress potential industry employers.
Gayle Cantrell, Head of Subject for Fashion at Northumbria University, said: “We are proud to see so many student projects selected by industry judges and recognised at a national level – it is testament to the hard work of graduates and the dedication of the academic and technical support staff who have guided them through their degrees.”
On Monday 20th June at 6pm, an opening event showcasing garments from all participating universities will take place. Collections from Fashion students, Melissa Lily Newton and Emily Gibson, have been selected to take part in the event by a panel of judges featuring Munroe Bergdorf, Patrick McDowell and Henry Holland.
The opening show will be streamed on the Graduate Fashion Week website: https://www.graduatefashionweek.com/events/ and Graduate Fashion Foundation award winners will be announced throughout the week.
