Pure London x Graduate Fashion Week
Pure London, the UK’s largest festival of fashion, demonstrates their commitment to fostering emerging talent and supporting the next generation of fashion innovators by partnering with Graduate Fashion Week.
When Pure London, a trade collective of global fashion designers, brands, buyers, creative minds and industry leading educational seminars, returns to the iconic Olympia London from the 16-18 July, 12 winners of Graduate Fashion Week will join the highly anticipated Pure London catwalk show featuring alongside the established and exciting emerging brands showcasing at Pure London. The show which attracts huge crowds of buyers, brands and press will give these rising stars a unique platform to present their designs to the fashion industry.
Graduate Fashion Foundation is a charitable organisation and an essential part of the fashion industry which acts as a springboard for graduates and an important source of new talent for the global design industry. Graduate Fashion Week, held at The Truman Brewery 12-15 June 2023, culminated in a dazzling Winners’ Catwalk which showcased the winning and highly commended graduates’ collections to industry professionals, fashion influencers and trendsetters.
Among the 12 showstopping collections which have been chosen to join the influential Pure London catwalk, taking place three times a day, will be designers:
- Erika Roznyte, Winner of the Bath Spa University catwalk
- Lucy James, Winner of the Arts University Bournemouth catwalk
- Phoebe Potter, the Highly Commended student of the Edinburgh College of Art catwalk
