FashionCapital at GFW
05-06-2009
On Sunday 7th June FC will be exhibiting on stand number F106 in Earls Court at the annual fashion event for tomorrow's stars of the fashion world.
Graduate Fashion Week was launched in 1991 and is a forum to showcase the very best BA Graduate fashion design talent in the UK.
Each June GFW stages a static exhibition showcasing the work of some 50 universities across 52 courses, and approximately 22 university fashion shows. The prestigious Gala Show and Awards presentation takes place on the penultimate night. The last day of the event is dedicated to the Education Day.
‘It is our aim to promote and nurture the talents of today's young, creative innovators, so that tomorrow's creative industries can continue to play a major role in the economy of the UK and the rest of the world.'
Over the years GFW has launched the careers of such brilliant Brit-ish designers as, Stella McCartney, Julian MacDonald, Antonio Baradi, Hussein Cha-layan, Christopher Bailey, Stuart Vevers and Owen Gaster.
This year FashionCapital will be on hand to provide that all important business advice and support when making the transition from education to industry. FC is a firm believer of integrating industry into education and can provide students with a real insight into selling in a retail environment via its two retail boutiques, whilst students can implement marketing strategies and experience the values of such promotions reflected in sales.
If you are a student or graduate attending GFW this year don't forget to visit stand F106!
