The show at 53 Degrees was attended by hundreds of students and members of the public.

One of the nominees from the fashion week gala show Carrie Colaluca said: “Graduate Fashion Week was so exciting. It was manic as it involved lots of preparation to get the models ready for the catwalk. I didn’t get to take it all in until I saw the video of the show. I was so pleased with the way it all came together and I couldn’t believe people’s reactions and compliments.”

Fashion design course leader Chris Molloy said: “Our fashion courses have a worldwide reputation because they offer a world-class educational experience that is closely linked to industry needs. The secret of our success lies in our ability to provide students with meaningful work placement opportunities with brands such as Iris Van Herpen, Holly Fulton, Karen Millen, Alexander McQueen, Top Shop, Matalan and River Island, amongst others, where our students put theory into practice within a commercial setting.”
