So this weekend (the last one before my holiday if you didn’t know!) I went see the exhibits on offer at the New Designers show in Angel, London. The exhibition is designed to showcase and award “the Next Generation of Creative Talents.” A wide range of Universities take part and the graduates are in line for winning several awards.
So, in contrast to most of the graduate shows I write about, this event wasn’t exclusively to do with fashion. In fact only a few of the graduates work with fashion students to produce handbags/clothes but this event is mostly about showcasing the designs of the students. Many textile and fashion companies will then send scouts about to look for budding ideas that they can then buy the copyright to. In fact some companies even like the students ideas so much that they offer jobs and work placements to the graduates. Not bad for some then!
So looking round the stalls there were a few designs that stood out from the rest. And my particular favourites are the next few below.
Let me know what you think?
