BA (Hons) Fashion (now BA (Hons) Fashion Design) alumni, Rav Matharu, has been included in the Universities UK 100 Faces campaign.
The 100 Faces campaign celebrates the stories and achievements of students and graduates who are the first in their family to go to university and the impact they have on society. 100 Faces showcases the life journey of the selected students and graduates and illustrates why it is important that future generations benefit from the same opportunities.
Rav Matharu is the Founder and Creative Director of the menswear brand clothsurgeon, the first ever bespoke streetwear store on Savile Row. clothsurgeon has attracted clientele including Lewis Hamilton, Ian Wright OBE, Drake, J Cole, Kendrick Lemar, FKA Twigs, ASAP Rocky, Santan Dave, Pep Guardiola and many others.
BA (Hons) Illustration graduate, Kimberley Burrows, has also been featured in the campaign by Royal College of Art (RCA). Kimberley received an MA in Painting from RCA and is an award-winning interdisciplinary artist, disability advocate and model whose practice is informed by their sight loss. Working with the Royal National Institute for Blind People (RNIB), she's campaigned internationally, visiting both the UK and European Parliaments in support of stronger accessibility legislation.
"University really taught me the depths I could go with my research and development, then refining it to create something that was very true to my concept."
