THE BEST IS YET TO COME

      GRADUATE FASHION WEEK GETS SERIOUS ABOUT THE BUSINESS OF FASHION

 

 

 

It's that time of year again when new graduates release themselves upon the world.  Graduate Fashion Week (GFW) has, for twenty years, been promoting creativity and attracting some of the industry's biggest players as it is the place where graduating students can begin making their mark on the world of fashion.  As well as showcasing the very best of BA Graduate Fashion design talent, GFW also work to help and nurture students to kick start a career within the industry.  In their own words, they are ''keen to create awareness of the breadth of jobs available in the industry beyond the design studio''.

At the end of Graduate Fashion Week is the prestigious Gala Evening where the award ceremony for the best featured talent takes place. Awards include the most prestigious and sought after award, the £20,000 Gold Award, along with Fashion Portfolio Award, New Business Idea Award and the Visionary Knitwear Award all sponsored and supported by great businesses such as Mulberry, Barclays Bank and Karen Millen. 

The Protege Project also held by GFW is in it's second year, helping graduates get a foot on the industry's career ladder, which is often so hard to do.  With GEORGE's involvement this year in educating new talent about the array of career opportunities within the fashion industry, there is no doubt it will be a successful follow up to last year. 

Obviously I'm most excited to see who shows from Nottingham Trent.  With the few bits I have sneaked a peek at already, it promises to be a good year at GFW for Trent this year.
