    2018 is bigger and better than ever...

    Celebrating its 27th anniversary this year, Graduate Fashion Week is the biggest celebration of up and coming talent in the fashion world.

    Supported by the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Victoria Beckham as Lifetime Patrons of the charity, this year Diana Von Furstenberg and Nadja Swarovski have also joined as patrons.

    With 25 catwalk shows, exhibition stands and a host of workshops and talks from industry experts, some 30,000 fashion enthusiasts flock to the showcase every year, and this year's looks to be the most promising yet.

    Each of the graduates selected was chosen because their work represents a range of diverse and unique influences, as well as sustainability in the materials used and how they impact the environment.

    This year Graduate Fashion Week has also expanded to include more international universities from all over the world, from Italy to Israel to the USA.
