Our tutors have designed for Kylie Jenner and had their own fashion labels which is so inspiring. Contacts such as these gave us a window in to London Fashion Week giving us a head start in the industry. I’ve loved it, and am delighted to be progressing to the Internationally renowned Ravensbourne University to study a BA (Hons) Fashion degree.
