The Collections - Fashion and Millinery Exhibition
Kensington and Chelsea College Debuts Designs Of UK's Finest Creative Talent
Kensington and Chelsea College is staging a show stopping fashion and millinery exhibition that brings together designs by some of the UK's finest creative talent.
Entitled 'The Collections'
, the 10-day exhibition profiles an exclusive range of work produced by students on the college's Fashion and Millinery courses.
Acting as platform for emerging trends and cutting edge style, the eagerly awaited annual event has already attracted the attention of buyers for leading department stores such as Fenwick.
The exhibition opens on Tuesday June 7 with a special private viewing where guests can meet the talented students and next generation of designers.
The exhibition will also profile a range of exclusive designs for purchase, giving guests the chance to support the UK's up and coming fashion and millinery talent whilst investing in one-off pieces.
Millinery student Rachel Drewer who is exhibiting her designs in the show said: 'The exhibition will be as bold, vibrant and daring as ever. It's all about showcasing new styles, trends and designs and we hope guests enjoy it as much as the students loved putting it together!'
Kensington and Chelsea College's world renowned Millinery Department has nurtured the talents of gifted milliners such as Justin Smith and students are regularly recognised for their millinery skills at national award ceremonies. The end-of-year millinery and fashion exhibition is widely regarded as THE place to be to find the industry's next big thing.
