L'oréal professionnel sponsor central saint martins ba fashion show
Central Saint Martins is synonymous with talent and flair, and has seen some of the biggest names in fashion graduate from its London college. The current spate of students took part in their BA Fashion Show, which was sponsored by L'Oréal Professionnel for the tenth year.
Held at York Hall in London's Bethnal Green, 40 up-and-coming designers showcased their latest collections in womenswear, knit, print and menswear to an audience of colleagues, inernational buyers and press. Designs ranged from the colourful and creative to stunningly simple and sophisticated.
Hair took a back seat and let the clothes do the talking. Simple top knots, chignons and plaited updos were in abundance, often accompanied by headdresses such as bird-shaped feathers and felt hats.
A team from L'Oréal Professionnel Portfolio worked on the models throughout the day, which included Chris Appleton from George's Hairdressing; Sophie Beattie from Royston Blythe; Alison Dace from Saks Hair & Beauty; Kathryn Dartnell from Haringtons; Emma Donohue from Level One; Faye Downey from Barbara Daley Stacey Egan from Guy Kremer; Vanessa Essack and Helen Timofti from Paul Edmonds; Danielle Langley from Richard Ward Hair & Metrospa; Andy Simmonds from John Jenkins; Lucy Wwlling from Charles Worthington; and Jason Wyatt from RMUK.
The evening culminated in an award for best designer. Alex Mullins was awarded second prize for his bright prints for men with Phillip Patterson claiming first prize for his simple menswear collection.
The L'Oréal Professionnel Young Designer of the Year went to Yi Fang Wan.
