Our Fashion Design BA<\/a> specialises in helping our students become individual creative designers, capable of working at the highest levels of the international fashion industry.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent graduates from the course are working in the design studios of international fashion houses including Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Lanvin, Alexander McQueen, Balmain, Smythson, JW Anderson, Stone Island, Calvin Klein, Ferragamo, Kenzo, Carven, and Loewe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year we were delighted to present our final year end-of-year show to an audience of students, staff, family, friends, industry guests, employers and the public. The show was sponsored by L\u2019Or\u00e9al Professionnel, The British Fashion Council, Alexander McQueen, Burberry and many more, and featured 22 of Westminster\u2019s Fashion Design BA students undertaking their final year of study.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spoke with four of the designers, Isabel Ealand, Lydiah Holder, Markos Tranakas and Reece Sheikh after the show, to hear more about their experience of studying at Westminster and presenting their collections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What were you most excited about for your end of year degree show?<\/strong>\u202f 
<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isabel: <\/strong>I was most excited about the opportunity to showcase my collection to so many influential people in the fashion industry. It was amazing to present all my hard work to an audience and see my collection come alive.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lydiah:<\/strong> I was most excited about the end-of-year show because it was both a pleasure and incredibly rewarding, especially considering how challenging this final year has been for me. I truly enjoy the behind-the-scenes aspect of fashion shows, and this event was a fantastic opportunity to showcase my work to industry professionals. Additionally, it was great to have the chance to represent the stories of Black and ethnic minorities in my collection, which made the experience even more meaningful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reece:<\/strong> Being part of the show felt like the true conclusion of my university experience, even more so than graduating. For me, the show was a release of everything I\u2019ve learned and developed up to that point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Markos:<\/strong> What I found most exciting about the end-of-year show was witnessing the emotional culmination of the past months\u2019 efforts, presented before loved ones and important industry guests. The professional context in which my work was to be shown for the first time was equally enthralling.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
