The Royal College of Art's renowned graduate Fashion Show takes place at the College in the Henry Moore Gallery on 10 June 2009.
Final collections by 36 postgraduate students will be showcased in a catwalk presentation that includes menswear, womenswear, knitwear and millinery, alongside static displays of footwear and accessory design.
The Royal College of Art is the home of the world's only wholly postgraduate Fashion Department. Founded in 1948 by Madge Garland, former editor of Vogue, the School of Fashion and Textiles is renowned for its links with the clothing and textiles industry, ranging from companies such as Levi's, Umbro, Missoni, Burberry and Louis Vuitton.
The School has a 95% employment record for its graduates and in the past few years students have gone on to work for a variety of fashion houses: Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Chloe, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Stella McCartney, Ungaro, Nicole Farhi, Joseph, Versace, Burberry, Marni, Max Mara and others. Some of the students have become well known in their own rights – Philip Treacy, Julien Macdonald, Boudicca, Neil Barrett, Georgina Goodman, Orla Kiely and Hamish Morrow – whilst others, the hidden designers, have become important contributors to other labels and companies.
