Kit Neale's Spring Summer 2014 collection

One of the first graduates from Ravensbourne university, Kit Neale, has received New Gen funding! For those that aren't aware, New Generation (or NEWGEN) was set up by The British Fashion Council in 1993 as an 'internationally recognised talent identification schemes'. They promote upcoming talent in the fashion industry and it's a great achievement to be recognised especially by the BFC and gain their funding.

London Collections: The Countdown

If you've been a frequent reader, you would of seen my London Collections post back in September. And it's that time again, January 6th - 8th 2014 are the dates for the 2nd year of the men's version of fashion week. Hold tight for more posts about the upcoming schedule and who are the ones to watch!

GFW Ravensbourne 2013

Today was the day!! Ravensbourne were showing at GFW and as I attend the uni, myself and the rest of my class were lucky enough to go to the show. The talent we have at Rave is insane, although not everyone got to show, the lucky chosen few were incredible. Some pieces that really caught my eye and were personal highlights were Sofie Malmgren's holographic clutch and silver cage head pieces. Clearly I have a thing for accessories.

What made it for me along with the clothes was the music. You could tell the song choices were fully thought out to really suit the collections, and it really bought everything together. There was anything from Lil Mama Lipgloss to Fergie London Bridge to Venga Boys - completely amazing! It was a shame we couldn't get any closer then the 5th row but obviously the closer rows were for industry experts and potential employers for the graduates but I still managed to get a few snaps.

As well as a successful day for Fashion BA(hons), Fashion Promotion also won two awards! The first award was for Per Aquum Marketing and went to Sophie Christiansen and the New Media Award went to Rebecca Chambers. It's incredible that Rave are getting recognition as we have such young talent coming in and out of our doors fast. We won't be showing at GFW for another 24 months, which means my year are the next to show - definitely huge boots to fill, but we're up for the challenge; Fash Promo 2015!!
