Graduate Fashion Week Winner

Christopher Bailey, Vivienne Westwood and Julien Macdonald were amongst fashion's big names celebrating the winners of Graduate Fashion Week 2016 at East London's Old Truman Brewery last night.

Burberry creative director and CEO Bailey was on hand to present the prestigious Gold Award (renamed this year after him in fitting tribute to the designer who was given the same accolade at the first Graduate Fashion Week in 1992) to Hazel Symons of De Montfort University. Speaking at the event, he recognised the efforts of all of the students that have shown their collections this week.

"When you watch the collections presented on the catwalk, it can all seem very effortless," he said. "But I know both from my own experience and by working closely with the students, how intense the experience can be, and I know how extraordinary the talent of the students is here this evening and how hard they've worked to get here today."
