Graduate Fashion Week 2008

Graduate Fashion Week 2008 - Brighton University

Ong-Oaj Pairam — Fashion Design — brighton University

The University of Brighton has taken the business of fashion to new heights, through the staging of a graduate show that exhibited creativity and a stark understanding of the commercial realities, involved with operating in an industry that is so competitive.

With sponsorship from Shadbolt & Co. (to the tune of £1500), students are equipped with key business principles that will, no doubt, result in successful and sustainable careers.

From 60 entries, the University of Brighton's faculty of Fashion & Design and the Chair of Shadbolt & Co., had the task of whittling down entries to just three. Below are the three award categories and the winners; who's hard work and thorough research, has resulted in them (rightly) being rewarded.
