NEWSLETTER 29th May 2013
Dear all,
 Ever-evolving, moving and morphing fashion stops for no-one and with this in mind the time has come to take a look at tomorrow’s industry players as we enter graduate season. From Sunday Graduate Fashion Week kicks off at Earl’s Court and we will be there to report on all the action.
Last night Central Saint Martin’s presented their BA design grads; a colourful explosion of imaginative ideas for the most part with the annual ‘L’Oreal Professional Award’ going to Mao Usami for her collection of oversize tartan, velvet and lace baseball jackets and sportswear shapes.

Ashleigh Kane gets in the holiday mood with the latest swimwear and beach trends, The House of Hackney announces a first UK flagship store and Michaela Jedinak, personal stylist & founder of Joy of Clothes launches her very own dress collection to suit a wide range of body shapes. The dresses were made at The Fashion Studio, and even if we do say it ourselves, they look rather good.
