The finale day at Langley Park school for Boys
15-12-2005
Without doubt we have untapped some true designer talent from some outstanding individuals, particularly, two winners Ben Hutchings and Dave Rapper. Certificates of completion were issued to 21 students, and the feedback was brilliant as you can see below:
Really enjoyed the course, really well constructed.

The fashion course was an excellent experience that I will do it again in a wink of an eye.

I found the London Fashion Forum experience was very enjoyable and I was provided with a worthwhile insight to the world of design.

I found the fashion design course worthwhile as I learnt a lot about the design process. I would recommend the course to anyone interested in design as it gives you a great insight into the fashion design business.

After the presentation we unveiled the three couture garments that were beautifully made by Julie-Ana designs. There were audible gasps!
The garments comprised of:
A beautifully contructed tailored sleevless dress. The fabric was in a desirous black satin. Inspiration clearly taken from the Japanese Kimono hence the wide obi. The inside was beautifully lined in red satin and was aimed at the older market (age 25-30).

As you can see by the picture above they are true designer pieces.
This project would not have been possible without the strong support of Mr. Northcote Head Teacher, Miss. Mills Art lecturer, Melanie Everette pattern-cutter, Anila Dhank from Melenka & Me and of course Julie-Ana Design who turned round the garment in just three days. Grateful thanks here to Sylvie who never lets us down.
We are now in discussions with other learning concepts with
Finally, a big congratulations and sincere thanks to the students themselves for making this initiative a real favourite of the LFF team.
