UEL 1st year Fashion show

The University of East London is a melting pot for new and innovative design. Their ADI (Arts and Digital Industry) building, nestled in the West Wing of the stunning Docklands Campus is a wealth of creative and vibrant communities. None so more than the Fashion Department.

The 1st year Fashion Design students have (and quote) “showed more innovation and creativity than the current 2nd years” and this fashion show showcases this fact.

A combination of two modules which aim to express the ability to embrace various challenging materials and arrange a well organised collection by exploring professional process.

The garments on show will be a mixed and exciting bag of experimental, luxurious, edgy and new trends/silhouettes/detailing/design ideas/raw talent that will cement the fact that London has become (once again) THE Fashion Capital.

These are designers and labels you will see in years to come, showcasing at fashion weeks around the world. One such example is UEL graduate Bunmi Koko who has gone on to set up her own fashion label and has been awarded a special prize for Female Entrepreneurship in 2010. She is currently appointed by the Vice Chancellor as their ambassador for Female Entrepreneurship.

The fashionshow will be supporting today’s emerging UK talent to ensure they become the designers of tomorrow, all support and contributions are welcomed.

All profits go towards the students’ graduation fashion week costs ensuring they put on an amazing show and get the best chance for exposure and accreditation from the working industry.
