River Island presents Graduate Fashion Week
Written by Victoria Green | Monday, March 17, 2008 |
River Island presents Graduate Fashion Week
June 8-12 Earls Court 2 London
Graduate Fashion Week has become a pivotal event in finding great British design talent and this year it will be bigger and better, as the event moves to Earls Court 2 in London. Sponsored by leading fashion brand River Island for the past 4 years the show has uncovered fantastic young British designers.
“British Students have creativity, attention to detail, knowledge of technical foundations and these things are not always present in American schools. There is a global demand for talent from London because the quality is amazing.”
Ricardo Alvar, Executive Vice President of 24Seven
“At River Island we are committed to supporting new and exciting creative fashion talent. Our sponsorship of Graduate Fashion Week has put us in the enviable position of being amongst the first to witness and embrace the emergence of some of the brightest new stars in the industry. We have been so impressed with the standard and dedication from the students and are proud to say that our current creative team is now full of talent sourced at this exciting event, some of whom are responsible for creating a number of our best selling lines this season. ”
Richard Bradbury, CEO, River Island
The event boasts a life-changing prize worth £20,000 and is Britain’s most prestigious prize for Graduate fashion education. Judges have ranged from Burberry’s Creative Director Christopher Bailey to style icon, Victoria Beckham – this year supermodel Claudia Schiffer joins the panel.
