So impressed by the talent witnessed in 2005/6 title sponsor River Island quickly renewed their sponsorship for a further two years. Managing Director, Richard Bradbury commented:
"At River Island we are committed to supporting new and exciting creative fashion talent. This is perhaps most evident in our continued support of GFW. Kicking off our third year of sponsorship, we have been very impressed with the standard and dedication from the students and feel proud that these individuals are the future of British Fashion” Richard Bradbury, Managing Director, River Island.
Truly a force to be reckoned with River Island now has one of the biggest design studios on the high-street, packed with some of the hottest new talent around. Over the past two years alone 20 new graduates have been scouted at Graduate Fashion Week to become part of the busy team that is responsible for creating the un-matchable flow of new original designs hitting River Island stores every day.
