School of Art designers show off their skills at show
Students from the BA (Hons) Fashion course at Manchester School of Art showed off their final year designs with a showstopping catwalk display that featured plenty of bold graphics, pop icons and the occasional man in a frock.
In another strong year for the School, the show provided the last opportunity for students to impress their tutors before the decision is made as to which designers will be sent to this year’s Graduate Fashion Week.
18 students from the University will be showing their designs at this year’s Graduate Fashion Week.
To see a full gallery of outfits from the night, head over to the Manchester Metropolitan University facebook page, at www.facebook.com/ManMetUni.
