Students shortlisted for Graduate Fashion Week Awards

Students from BA (Hons) Fashion Design, Fashion Marketing, Fashion Photography, and Textile Design have been shortlisted for 21 awards at Graduate Fashion Week 2026, highlighting the breadth of talent across our courses.

Graduate Fashion Week (GFW) is a prestigious annual event showcasing the next generation of fashion talent. Held every June at the Truman Brewery in London, it brings together over 3,000 graduating students from 26 different fashion disciplines. GFW serves as a vital platform for emerging designers to present their work to thousands of guests, including industry professionals and media, acting as an important bridge between education and employment.

Our students are already making an impact with invitations to participate in catwalk shows and award nominations across 15 categories.

Designs by BA (Hons) Fashion Design student Eve Cameron were used in the Graduate Fashion Foundation annual Talent of Tomorrow photoshoot, whilst final year BA (Hons) Fashion Design student Rubie Baldwin has won a competition brief set by the Graduate Fashion Foundation, in partnership with F&F, winning a 12-month paid placement as an Assistant Designer at F&F's head office in Welwyn Garden City.
