A design from Claire Acton's collection from the University of Central Lancashire.


This year's Graduate Fashion Week kicked off in style,truly showcasing the talent of young graduates in 2012.
Fashion students from all over had been working hard all year to show off
their own unique collections to the public, and they did not disappoint!
From the Gothich to the Brightly coloured, so many Fashion styles and
prints were on show!
A "fringing and faces" collection (pictured right) by Claire Acton from the University of Central Lancashire, really stood out and wowed admirers on the Catwalk! The outifts were bold and certainly made an impression on spectators.







The bright and colourful "Blumarine collection" (pictured left) was certainly eye catching this year.
GFW is known for its prestigious awards and this year many worthy students received praise for their collections.
The Zandra Rhodes Textiles crown was awarded to Fiona Xiaoping Huang from the University of Central Lancashire for her creative take on her own collection,  and the Ethical award of 2012 went to to Northumbria University student Sarah Murphy.





Congratulations to Chloe Jones Fashion Graduate from Bath Spa University on winnig the GFW Gold Award 2012 for her stunning Gothic collection! Chloe's collection titled "Our Father who art in Heaven",included slouched hooded tops with full length plain skirts and big prints that stood out.
A fantastic ending to a spectacular week, and I am sure we will see many of the graduates succeed in the industry with such great collections!
