Here at George, we love Graduate Fashion Week and see it as one of the most exciting events of the summer. Not only does it give young designers a chance to showcase some of their best work but it’s the place to be if you want to see what’s going to be on the fashion radar from this season to the next. This year marks its 26th anniversary and to celebrate we have gone behind the scenes of Graduate Fashion Week to bring you what’s new in fashion, with inspiration from the catwalk and the latest backstage gossip from our showroom.
At our very own George showroom, we presented our latest SS17 collection, enjoyed a few tasty treats with fellow fashion-lovers and met up with aspiring designers, journalists and bloggers to discuss the most talked about trends of the season.
Luxe sporty jackets, blouses with supersized fluted sleeves and perfectly pleated midi skirts all made it to the catwalk this season.
Congratulations to Halina North for scooping up one of the biggest awards of the Graduate Fashion Week. From her boxy silhouettes and bold waistlines to her use of recycled materials and shoelace detailing, her collection really stood out on the runway. Want to take her winning style from the catwalk to your wardrobe? Check out our range of faux suede lace-up skirts, gingham mesh tops and fluted sleeve blouses.
One of the most inspirational designers of the week was Laura Capello, taking home our George Catwalk to Store award for her edgy but wearable collection of figure-flattering bodycon dresses and cute cropped jackets.
