The best of Graduate Fashion Week 2013
As the room buzzed with anticipation, the chatter among the room was filled with enthusiasm as everyone awaited the first designer, Anna Wilhelmina. The lights dimmed and everyone found their seat. The sharp white lights cut through the dark, and the first model glided on to the runway. The bright neon colours of the sporty American attire contrasted against the white setting. The model clutched a football helmet. The graduate fashion week had started…
The graduate fashion week started on the weekend of the 2nd and it runs through until 5th of June 2013 at Earls Court 2 in London. All the amazing work the students have put together will be judged and the battle for the top prize commences. During the week there will also be more emerging BA fashion graduates from all over the world, as well as, 40 UK Colleges and 16 international Universities. With graduates coming from countries like Pakistan, New York, Turkey and Taiwan, there is definitely a mixture of culture to hit the runway.
The idea’s and imagination that were brought to life on the runway were phenomenal. From the beautifully appliquéd and embroidered flowers to head covering pieces with sheer, tile printed dresses. There was a huge contrast, but what remained the same throughout the show was the cheering and bright flashes from camera’s that couldn’t get enough of the designs.
The highlights were from graduates like Syed Hamma Sohail Sadiq, from the Pakistan institute of fashion design. The audience were presented with an inspiring collection with eye popping bright colours and beautiful modern prints.
Also Chisung Ihn from Bunka Fashion Graduate University, Japan proved to be an unusual but headline grabbing designer. Her work presented dramatically curved capes with obvious modern straight lines and dresses that were made with digital prints and leather. Best of all from the collection was the dramatic Swarovski helmet which added a Gothic edge.
The Graduate’s work didn’t stop there, an exhibition also took place and showcased fashion portfolios and students work, which were on display so people could get an understanding of how the designs were produced from drawings. There was a real excitement as everyone walked around admiring the work and socializing about the show.
