Every year, hundreds of hungry young fashion students work tirelessly on debut collections, miraculously throw a show together and bring fresh eyes to an industry dominated by legends. We’ve got our eye on five new womenswear designers who will be showcasing their work at Graduate Fashion Week, an event that brings together the best and brightest BA talent specialising in all things sartorial.
The graduate showcase is supported by the likes of Victoria Beckham, Christopher Bailey and Nick Knight. Running from 4-7 June in Shoreditch’s Old Truman Brewery, you can see these ladies’ works in person by booking tickets to the show.
Frankie Dean
Edinburgh College of Art
Frankie Dean’s collection investigates human muscle tone and the lines travel around the body. She explores the transition between two-dimensional drawn line into the three-dimensional one. Dean experiments with lines that sculpt ‘around’ and ‘away’ from the human form. Her keen observation of movement and structure in silhouette has allowed Dean to create a unique canvas upon which to accentuate and distort lines as they travel over the body.
Dean’s use of textiles emphasizes the complex system of lines and textures on the body. Her attention to detail and innovative application of printed elastic on to mesh provides a distinctive and unforgettable ‘third dimension’ to her designs whilst, her layering technique creates a sculptured look to her work.
