Daisy Lowe appeared in Josh Bullen's show.
Annabel Luton's glorious soaring eagle, feather and mountain prints on velvet, chiffon and silk can be seen on the models in the background.
Ryohei Kawanishi's eco-statement combined every handcraft technique under-the-sun, or beneath the waves, with mountainous heaps of fabric.
Crimson Rose O'Shea used lots of colour in her collection.
Creativity abounds in this collective of student designs. While I can appreciate the talent of winner, Flaminia Saccucci, my eyes were instantly drawn to the creations of Holly Fowler (#5) and Annabel Luton (#11). I can imagine that there is much more to come from this group of graduates.
