Graduate Fashion Week New Venue Announced!
Wednesday, 5 June 2013
RAVENSBOURNE AT GFW
So, unless you've been living under a rock or ignoring my blog posts you'll know that this week was massive for the nations fashion graduates, Gradute Fashion Week finally came to Earls Court!
Being a Ravensbourne student I got the oppourinty to see our show and have a look round the exhibition space. It was super exciting to see the work of students from other unis and to see how it was displayed, moreover seeing the displays from the international collages was interesting. I really liked browsing the portfolios of our fashion promotion graduates to get a taste of degree work!
When 3:30 came around it was show time. I love fashion shows, the atmosphere is always so exciting and I always love seeing new talent and love the music the designers choose.
We didn't have exceptional seats but obviously they're reserved for VIP's and possible employers, oh and Susie Bubble! I didn't know what to expect but I was blown away by the talent, my personal favourites were the metallic holographic clutch by Sophie Malmgren and the pastels from Lydia Krause. I loved the song choice we had a bit of Venga Boys (mega nostalgia!) to a bit of Kanye.
We were all amazed when we came out and as the next GFW will be our show we have big boots to fill but we're all really excited about it and ready for the challenge!
In other news it was a great week for Rave, in Promotion we won 4 awards, Sophie Christiansen won the Per AQUUM marketing award, Rebecca Chambers won the Media Design award, Anne-Lina Dingsor Uudelepp and Emma De Vires won the Karen Millen Portfolio award. Moreover, four of our fashion students had their work selected for the prestigious gala show on Wednesday, they were Chen-Yu Wang, Patricia Williams, Phiney Pet and William Baxter. This is a huge honour and we've done so well I'm so proud! Heres a few cheeky pictures I took with my friend Grace, so check it out!

GRADUATE FASHION WEEK, TOMORROW!
1 DAY TO GO!!
Oops, been getting slightly confused with my days! It is most definitely one day till THE biggest event for fashion graduates commences, but its 2 days until the Rave show! As I said in the last GFW post I'm heading down the Earls Court to watch our show so I will be blogging as it happens and I'm so excited!
They have also just released an app in time for the event next week. The app, designed by UCLAN students, is the best way to find out about competitions and keep up to date with whats going on at GFW. It was also feature reviews and photos straight of the catwalk so will really come in handy for those who can't make it to the event!

Moreover, fashion director of The Daily Telegraph Hilary Alexander (you should all know her!) has claimed that the Ravensbourne show was the first to sell out this GFW, so you must know this big news!
If you missed your opportunity to grab a ticket, Rave is hosting the pop up shop for a second year in a row so make sure you get down and check it out!

Every year theres one event that fashion students across the nation look forward to most of all. Yep Graduate Fashion Week is almost upon us. Just in case you haven't heard of it, GFW is an event showcasing the work from Britain's best fashion graduates, its a chance for budding graduates to show their talents to some big names in the industry.
Being in my first year of university this is very exciting for me, particularly as my university, Ravensbourne, are showcasing at the event.

The events features some of the best universities from around the country, and for 2013 the event is being restructured. The plans include a restructure of the awards ceremonies, creating a more streamlined Gala Show experience. Of the new format, Chairman, Rob Templeman said; “We hope the new format will enable all our successful students to have a chance to show off their winning entries.” The Gala Show will now feature only the winners of the George Gold Award, the Women’s, Men’s, Knitwear, Textiles and International Awards. The other awards will be announced each day across the week enabling recruiters, media and other attendees at the event the time needed to see all the entries and also hear feedback from judges.
