H&M Names Its Future Design Stars

H&M has announced its eight 2014 design award finalists - an accolade now in its third year. The group were chosen from 26 semi-finalists, studying at different colleges around the world.

Twelve countries were scoured, 30 design schools were reviewed - including six from the UK - and countless notes and pictures were taken. Each graduating designer was selected based on their own unique creativity, technical skills and vision. They were each offered €5,000 to present their collections in London last December to a distinguished international jury, including Vogue's Serena Hood, actress Michelle Dockery, designer Erdem and Michelle Harper, a street-style favourite. The final winner will be announced on January 28 at 11am.
