Graduate Fashion Week is the highlight of the Fashion Student's calender- and none more so then the graduates nominated by an esteemed panel of industry expert judges for the George Gold Award, the highest commendation at Graduate Fashion Week.

Universities from around Europe come together to support the best in fashion talent, and the George Gold Award is the opprtunity of a lifetime to launch a graduate into the industry. 

Last year's winner Rory Longdon received the £20,000 prize and has been working in Italy at prestigious label Max Mara ever since... finger's crossed for this year's Graduates to be even more successful! Congratulations to the following:
