Over 30 highly talented students showcased their work on Friday 28th November and the designs were well constructed and executed using hand embellishment, (both embroidery and beading work), heat pressed printing, machine embroidery, and more besides.
The students will now take part in the Festive Fashions catwalk show in Barking on Saturday. Good luck to all the students where they themselves will grace the catwalk wearing high heels, jeans and of course those wonderfully designed t-shirts.

Retail news
High street Woolworths is the next retailer to come under pressure in facing its debt of £385m. Its problems were compounded over the past couple of months when it was forced to pay cash when buying goods from suppliers, because trade credit insurers were no longer prepared to insure suppliers to Woolworths.
Boutique Pick of the Week
This Satin mini dress by Belles of London is great for any occasion around Christmas time and coming up to the New Year. Styling it with dark coloured tights and Black heels will give you a great festive party look. With bows bang on trends this seasons, this pretty satin mini dress has a Bow detail to the front.
