First on the catwalk was an array of printed dresses and printed shirts featuring a range of designs handprinted by the students.

The students’ ‘White Project’ was designed to encourage experimentation and ‘thinking outside of the box’ particularly with sculptural and 3D elements. The project produced some stunning designs with a mixture of techniques and experimentation which wowed the audience.

The show also touched on some political issues and raised awareness of sustainability and the impact of the fashion industry on the environment. Students were set a live brief to design and create a look with the budget of just £5, recycling and upcycling existing materials.
