“ Fragility “
Beichen Guan’s collection is inspired by the star pattern emoji that people easily can understand, transformed into teeth whitening products and tools. The collection is a entertaining way to show people just like her, who try so hard to whiten their teeth because of aesthetic pressures from society. 
Ben Stephen Ford’s graduate collection is inspired by the concept of wanting to ‘fix it’ or ‘put it right’, playing with the impulse of those who can’t stop that internal need for perfection. 
Berenike Corcuera’s collection was inspired by kirilian photographs of her aura, first captured in Chinatown’s reowned Magic Jewelry when she lived in New York in 2014. She began studying the electromagnetic field of the human body to understand how to translate the invisible. She began the practice of mandala and colour studies, to understand how metaphysical bodies could be interpreted into physical bodies and contemporary menswear clothing.
Colour and labour intensive textile techniques are the key aspects of Bethan's creations, as well as personal and meaningful narratives. She designs for a woman who is feminine, fearless and with a sense of humour.
Meaningful movement, Natural habits, And Intuitive behaviour. Derived from the German term, meaning a longing to travel to a place where you feel at home, Bethany’s debut Graduate collection ‘Heimweh’ looks at traditional nomadic qualities in a contrast to a modern society.
The 1920s Flappers were heavily featured in ‘The Great Gatsby’ and were important in deciding the silhouette and fabrics. The 1920s Gangsters gave the structure needed to the soft and flowing silhouette of the Flappers. The staple item worn by this subculture was a tailored jacket/suit, this was manipulated to create some interesting shapes. The lapel of a jacket became a key design feature. The jacket lapel was changed in size and position on the garment, in response to imagery from the Ocean Liner exhibition. 
Walking the streets of India, viewing an extraordinary range of Temples and Mosques, featuring delicate pastel shades and inspiring pigmented blocks of colour. Pure cotton displaying a range of extravagant hand-dyed fabrics, layered by screen-printed patterns inspired by India’s most amazing landmarks. The luxurious, yet wild silhouettes may be spotted en-route to Lakme Fashion Week.
The utilitarian function of clothing is to house the human body, a body that is always in constant motion. Bo Yang Jiang's collection is an interpretation of this relationship. She dissects the prime functions of what clothing does, on one hand it satisfies the practical demands and on the other, its a manifestation of character. 
Circular and Spherical shapes are a key focus within the collection, influenced by various artists including Roy Lichtenstein, Damien Hirst and Yayoi Kusama which utilise repetition and geometric shapes within their work.
“When your world is collapsing, when everything is closing in, what you want is to be somewhere else, somewhere you can breathe in peace, a scrap of beauty, far from the noise and ugliness but, if there is no escape then you go there in your dreams and you paint that landscape into existence.”
