Final-year students of the fashion design programmes at three UK institutions, John Moores University in Liverpool, the London College for Design and Fashion Vietnam and the Manchester Fashion Institute at Manchester Metropolitan University, have presented their designs at Graduate Fashion Week London, which kicked off on Monday.
Graduate Fashion Week (GFW) is an event organised by non-profit organisation the Graduate Fashion Foundation (GFF) that aims to spotlight UK designers at the undergraduate level.
At Graduate Fashion Week, the outstanding designers from each school are selected after the graduate show in question, to then be invited to showcase their collections a second time at the ‘Best of GFW’ event. The best of GFW24 catwalk show will take place on Thursday, June 13, the last day of Graduate Fashion Week.
