LSAD's first outing at Graduate Fashion Week was a great success. We got lots of positive feedback regarding the high quality of work on display and the originality of ideas, particularily in relation to manipulation of fabric and texture. Execution of drawing and illustration was also commented on, and the display of sketchbooks was a real hit! We suceeded in placing LSAD on the radar for prospective students. It was also great to see some of our past students who are now working in London who took time to pay us a visit at GFW.
There was lots to see and do with catwalk shows every 2 hours and guest speakers such as Susie Bubble from http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/ - check out her write-up on GFW- , designer Henry Holland from House of Holland, talks by legendary fashion journalists Colin McDowell and Hillary Alexander, portfolio and C.V workshops with recruitment agencies, photoshoots by Nick Knight and lots more............
We learned a lot from other colleges particularily in
relation to presentation. It was also a great opportunity to meet with
staff from other colleges who were very open and generous with their advise and experience. We also made vital contacts with industry which will assist in
furthur progression of our course at LSAD.
Here's looking forward to a bigger and better display for next year and maybe even a coveted catwalk show!
